Course: Flemings Beach, Maui to Kaunakakai Pier, Moloka'i (26 miles)
One of the windiest channels in the Hawaiian islands, the Pailolo Channel takes the trades that funnel between Maui and Moloka'i and transforms them into perfectly spaced bumps that offer rides virtually all the way from the start at DT Flemings Beach Park to Kaunakakai Pier, 26 miles away.
The race is opened to HCRA approved fiberglass six-person outrigger canoes. The divisions are Men's Open 9, Women's Open 10, Men's Master 9, Women's Master 12 (50+), Men's Iron 6. Start time is 9am.
The entry fee is $270 and includes t-shirt, awards, and post-race luau at Kaunakakai. There will be a BBQ at Flemings Beach Park on Friday, Sept. 19 at 5:30pm.
