"Always a lot of build-up each year for the channel crossing races. This being one of my favourite races and the start of our journey to Oahu. I had an awesome battle with KD who was incredibly consistent through the Pailolo. Didn't see the winner till the very finish, very smart racing and fast line choice." Third for Kai Thompson in the 2026 Maui to Molokai, raced in fierce conditions.
