2011 Moloka'i World (Surfski) Championships

The Molokai Challenge, recognized as the World Surf Ski and OC1 Championship, is the title watermen covet most. The solo race begins near the west end of the island of Molokai, crosses the volatile Ka’iwi Channel — considered one of the roughest ocean channels in the world - and finishes on Waikiki’s Queens Beach which is on Oahu for the first time in 2007. The new distance is 32.3 nautical miles.
