Moloka’i 2 Oahu Paddleboard World Championships
Both stand-up and traditional paddleboarding champions from around the world will gather in Hawaii to test their athletic ability in the most iconic event in the paddling community. The 32-mile crossing of the Ka’iwi Channel connects the islands of Moloka’i and Oahu. More than 2,300 feet deep, the channel creates a funnel effect that shoots billions of gallons of seawater between the islands each hour. Combine that with trade winds, and the seas can range from 8 to 15 feet on an average day and upwards of 20 feet on an extreme day. The Ocean of Hope will have competitors in the race, as well as an information tent in Honolulu. http://www.molokai2oahu.com/

Catalina Classic Paddleboard Marathon
The Ocean of Hope began at the Catalina Classic, with one paddler racing in honor of Sarcoma Alliance founder Suzanne Leider. Since 1999, scores of athletes have paddled the grueling 32 miles from Catalina Island to Manhattan Beach. People who raise $3,000 for the Alliance can have their names, or the name of a loved one, on a paddleboard. Go to Active.com to donate. Get inspired by this gorgeous video of the Classic by Chris Aguilar of Soul Surf Media.
O2H will have tents with food, drink, merchandise and raffle tickets for sale on Manhattan Beach. Come out and support our team!
