What are the board size categories for the race?

Teams is 14ft but you are allowed a rudder.

No unlimited in teams this year

For anyone who's interested, or those who've been inspired by IronPhil's video of the 2008 race. The website for the 2010 race is up and running.

25th July 2010 - 32 miles


ps. If there's any other girls out there thinking of doing this race, I'm currently looking for a partner to race as a team of 2 so please let me know if you're up for the challenge.

Cheers,

Hey Chikka

Ill be In Maui at the same time..... let me know if your keen.. was also looking at this race,, :)

Thanks mate I appreciate the information.

Does the 10k include the assitance of the support vessels?

Phill

8000-10000

easy
if you take a partner/wife eg. 2500-3000 flights

all your entries. 150us

you need some one on your support boat u can trust.

get your board there 700-900 (i know a guy who paid 1100).

support boat 750-1000us

accom for at least one to two weeks before so you can use to the heat and conditions.
accom any where between 100-400us a night. you do not take everything over to molokai as you have to swim to a boat with your stuff. and you would want to go for at least 10-14 days.
so maybe 2000-3000 and accom for 2
rent a car because you can not walk everywhere with your board. 650 - 1000 for 10 days

flights to molokai and transfers and accom for 2 people 600 at least even more.

oh then all your protein powders energy drinks for there/before for training and race maybe 500

all your food/drink for all the time you are there for 2 people 1000-1500

the list can go on and on,

8000-10000 easy.

1 person 6000-8000 still

I just signed up on Seebreeze Sam to tell you you still owe me $50 you tight arse!!! Don't listen to Sam about the $10000 (more like $9550 in his case). Monday at Aussies Sam

Yeah but I was going to charge you 1000% interest. Get off the computer and do some work. Let Renee have a day off would you.

Hey hey

I am also looking at this race too.... chat to you ladies @ Noosa about it for surely.

Ten grand not including buying a 17 foot board which 99% of us don't have sitting in our shed!

It cost me $6000 in 2006 to do Maui - Molokai and Keanae - Kahului (via Maliko) races. That did not include Molokai to Oahu, which would have cost and extra $2k at least, so the $10k ain't far off what you will spend. At least the Aussie $ is in your favor, it was $.68 in 2006.

Tip, don't skimp on the support boat cost, pay for a good one that has done the race many times and don't take bananas on board, Hawaiians believe brings bad luck.

Cheers Rambo
