Since the foilers division started on Molokai at 9:30am, I thought it would be perfect to show up at the finish line at 12pm to watch them starting to come in. \u00a0But when we got there, the foilers were already finished!!! \u00a0The 1st place wing foiler only took 1.5 hours to cross the channel. \u00a0That’s faster than my boat!!! \u00a0Kai Lenny won the SUP foil division and it took him 2.5 hours. \u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

Still stoked to see a Japanese win his division. \u00a0This is the hardest paddle board race in the world. \u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

We were cheering on the Japanese competitors.\u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

Watching their faces when crossing the finish line says it all. \u00a0Total exhaustion and too tired to celebrate.\u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

One of the spectators yelled at this competitor, “See you next year!” \u00a0his reply was “NEVER AGAIN!” \u00a0Haha. \u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

This was the lady foiler winner. \u00a0Unbelievable.\u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

Then we drove to the tip of Oahu and saw the competitors approaching the island. \u00a0Always happy to see a Japanese flag! \u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

Ganbatte!!! \u00a0Ganbatte!!!\"\"<\/p>\n

The foilers are taking over the race. \u00a0That was cool to see. \u00a0I respect everyone that finished this race. \u00a0And I also respect everyone that didn’t finish this race. \u00a0It’s brutal!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
