Description

This year marks the 57th crossing of the Ka iwi Channel, which separates the islands of Oahu and Molokai. The Ka iwi Channel has been touted, at times, as one of the most treacherous spans of ocean in the world. The Molokai Hoe is one of the longest running annual team sporting events in Hawaii, second only to football. The Molokai Hoe perpetuates one of Hawaii's and Polynesia's most important and historic cultural traditions, while honoring outrigger canoe paddlers around the world. The Molokai Hoe tests the limits of physical and mental strength and endurance, courage determination and teamwork, and paddlers must also battle nature's most extreme elements.
