The Ka’iwi Challenge

Molokai to Oahu, what a journey. 54km and most definitely the hardest thing I’ve ever done. I’ve dreamt of doing this for a long time to challenge myself both physically and mentally and it certainly exceeded my expectations in that department. So many people have helped get me to this point and I can’t thank everyone for their support enough.

This accomplishment was personally motivated but as with everything I do, I hope it can inspire others to push themselves and aim higher in life. And that’s not to say it was easy, there were times of massive struggle and parts that I wanted to give up but having people there alongside me both in the boat and on the water definitely played their part in getting me there.

I had an idea of what it might take to complete this challenge but after doing it, I have so much more respect for every waterman who has crossed the Ka’iwi channel.
