16 days before the race… Everything seems to be ready… Soon I will be flying to Hawaii for the 2nd time of the year (1rst time was for the Battle of Paddle in Oahu) to take part in the legendary race : The Molokai to Oahu , a 32 miles open ocean crossing from Molokai to Oahu.

I will try to write updates on this blog as often as possible during this trip, taking part in this race is a massive adventure, not only it is very expensive but it is also a lot of logistics, compared to that going to the Battle of Paddle Fort de Russy was easy … Many people say the easiest part is the actual race… I’d love to believe it though, as paddling in rough water for 5hours doesn’t sound easy to me !

I really want to thank Robert, Donald and all the Etienne family, all my family, Ekolu Kalama and his family, Fernando Labad and all my sponsors (Nidecker, Kialoa, Rip Curl, FCS) to make this adventure possible.
