Laydown Paddle board race, 32 miles, Molokai HI to Oahu Hawaii

Molokai Challenge by Mark Matheson

On July 25, 2010, Mark Matheson will become the first athlete with paraplegia to compete in the world’s toughest and most dangerous paddleboard competition to raise money and awareness for two charities he holds close to his heart: Easter Seals Hawaii and Access Surf Hawaii.

Considered to be the most prestigious of all races for paddleboarding, the Molokai 2 Oahu World Championship Paddleboard race is a grueling 32-mile crossing of the Ka'iwi Channel. At its deepest point, the channel is over 2300 feet deep and is infamous for its heavy seas, debilitating heat, and nightmarish currents and swells that can reach heights of up to 30 feet.

On his quest to achieve his personal best, Mark hopes to inspire others to do the same by supporting Easter Seals Hawaii and Access Surf Hawaii…

Help Mark achieve his goal of raising $25k for AccesSurf by making a donation now.
