Can anyone tell me the legal age that paddlers must be to compete in the Epic Molokai Ski Race in May 2009? Is it 16 years or 18 years ? Any replies much appreciated.

I know your question is about age.. but the requirement for entry should be skill and fitness level.
How can we say that a novice 25 year old can enter and not a 14 year old that has surfed and paddled that area all of his life..... or a 50 year old who was a good paddling athlete in his prime, but now has packed on the kilos/stones and has very high blood pressure.
The compentcey measure should be in relative training/competitive years/season... and not the chronological age of a paddler..... when it comes to Events as extreme as the Molo Solo etc.
sorry about going off track AussieWahine
