Oscar Chalupsky came home in 13th place............there were 50 finishers and a few withdrawls over the 51 km (32 mile) event.

Earlier predications for the event were that a big side on swell would meet many of the paddlers on race day, with very testing conditions on the finishing stretch and around China Wall into Oahu.

A colossal event.......too big for me, but great to follow all the same. I'm off out onto the flat harbour for a paddle in similar conditions to a K1 1000 event.

More details on Molokai to follow later..........

Back on pancake Harbour.........view from the SUP at Greta Point.......and Glenn Muirhead in his multisport kayak still not convinced he needs a surf ski........and he would go so well on a Think Uno Max if he spent more time on one! Click on any photo to enlarge.

6 DAYS TO GO TO THE FIRST EVENT OF THE WINTER SERIES
