COMING SUNDAY......
Alika has been waiting for this for a year!! This is the Quiksilver Paddle race from Molokai to Oahu...ITS FARRRRR!!!
These people in the picture are kneeling/or lying down...He will be doing it stand-up with a paddle.
All those escort boats will follow their "man or woman" across the Kaiwi channel. Said to be one of the roughest waters around.
Pray for safety of the contestants and the crew of the escorts!!! 32 MILES!
Last week , during a small practice run ( 8 miles ) He had a lovely FISH TALE. Two sharks ( he said all to be around 8-10 ft) ON EACH SIDE OF HIS BOARD followed him. Fish food??!!! They were hoping. He caught a wave and paddled back and they were GONE. That was not even the deep ocean!!! He wasn't scared...he said. If I just saw a FIN of one, let alone the whole thing....I would fall in the water cuz my knees would be knockin!!!

First, I don't think I could EVER be able to go very far stand up paddling.
With the treat of sharks and other ocean creatures, I know I wouldn't!
Be safe Alika.
lotsa sharks these days! Just hope they do not come into Kailua bay coz as much as the sand has eroded and the shoreline disappearing, I still love the color of the water. Its unfortunate how that sands just vanishing but I hope its just going back out into the ocean and in time, return back to shore throughout the cycle of earth! They just had a shark attack and sighting out in Lahilahi Beach!
