Most of the video footage featured in the YouTube video was shot by Derek Hama while he was wing foil racing. We talk about the experience of foil racing from Maui to Molokai and the Molokai Molokai race the following day. The previous weekend we competed in the Paddle Imua race, which was the first race of the Koa Kai triple crown race series. The M2M race had a big turnout with 120 SUP foil racers and over 40 wing foilers. The conditions were beautiful and unlike last year, the wind was blowing all the way to the finish, with the exception of a wind shadow behind the pier. Derek, Kevin, Matt and I discuss the race, the equipment we used, the conditions, and things we learned for next year. We hope you enjoy it, we will cover the Molokai to Oahu Foil race in next weeks video, so stay tuned for the M2O foil edition video!

Epic Maui to Molokai Wing Foiling Adventure!
In this exciting episode from Blue Planet, Robert Stehlik and his friends from the O’ahu wing foiling crew share their incredible journey from Maui to Molokai and the subsequent Molokai Holokai race. The video captures stunning footage and provides insights into the experiences of the participants, making it a must-watch for foiling enthusiasts. The adventure begins with Derek, Kevin, and Matt, who join Robert for a long weekend in Maui. They kick off the trip with a Maliko run on Thursday, amidst light winds that soon pick up, setting a promising tone for the upcoming races. Derek captures captivating footage, while Kevin and Matt share their first-time experiences and the camaraderie that binds the group. Race day arrives with excitement and anticipation. The team dons pink shirts, fuels up, and heads to the starting line. The video showcases the impressive turnout, with 120 standup paddle foilers ready to race. Despite expecting lighter winds, the conditions turn out to be perfect, adding to the thrill of the race. Matt recounts his navigational challenges and the beauty of the surroundings, highlighting the unique aspects of the race. Derek, ever the team player, stops to help a fellow racer in distress, showcasing the spirit of sportsmanship that defines the event. This act of kindness, however, doesn’t deter his performance as he continues to capture amazing footage and finishes the race strong. The video transitions to the next day, featuring the Kamalo run along the Molokai coast. The smaller race allows the crew to enjoy a fast, exhilarating sprint. Robert and Matt discuss their equipment choices and strategies, emphasizing the importance of having the right gear for varying conditions. The camaraderie and shared experiences create a sense of unity and joy among the participants. One standout moment is Eli’s perseverance as he completes the race with a ripped center strut on his wing, demonstrating resilience and determination. The crew reflects on the challenges and learnings, with Matt humorously earning the nickname “Matt Hotfoot Tarini” for his barefoot escapades on Molokai’s hot asphalt. The video captures not just the competitive spirit but also the fun and enjoyment of the sport. Kevin’s reflections on the breathtaking views and the overall experience underline the essence of wing foiling – it’s not just about winning but also about the joy of being on the water and sharing moments with friends.

So yeah, it was just, it was a really fun race, really exciting, really challenging from a navigational perspective and then yeah, just really good wind. 59 00:05:23,809.801 --> 00:05:24,89.801 Yeah. 60 00:05:24,89.801 --> 00:05:30,399.801 And then you're Derek's they started the standup spoilers first, so Derek's kind of chasing them out a little bit. 61 00:05:31,14.801 --> 00:05:37,154.801 I think it was like five minutes before the wing full start right inside of the them. 62 00:05:37,154.801 --> 00:05:47,684.801 So, so that all the wing fullers are lining up and yeah, and the wind was pretty steady right from the start. 63 00:05:49,24.8 --> 00:05:49,674.8 Yes. 64 00:05:50,194.8 --> 00:05:50,604.8 Yeah. 65 00:05:50,724.801 --> 00:05:51,304.801 Wonderful. 66 00:05:56,14.801 --> 00:05:56,194.801 Yeah. 67 00:05:56,194.801 --> 00:06:03,84.801 The start of the standup they pretty much majority of the guys all got up and started going, which is good. 68 00:06:03,84.801 --> 00:06:13,694.8 They cleared our path, they went ahead, whatever boats had went ahead, and there was just a few boats that were, I guess, um, waiting for the wingers to start and everything else. 69 00:06:13,704.801 --> 00:06:17,674.8005 So, uh, we ended up getting up on four. 70 00:06:17,674.8005 --> 00:06:23,854.802 Once they sounded the horn for us to go, we went, and then all the rest of the boats and the paddlers all went too. 71 00:06:24,864.802 --> 00:06:30,544.802 I'm gonna play this part again because there's this guy waving wait, did I miss it already? But yeah, I hear it. 72 00:06:30,874.802 --> 00:06:38,559.802 This guy was waving, right? Waving at people and nobody stopped for him and then you stop right there. 73 00:06:38,559.802 --> 00:06:39,389.802 Yeah, they got right there. 74 00:06:39,719.802 --> 00:06:40,159.802 Yeah. 75 00:06:41,929.802 --> 00:06:57,189.802 So yeah, the guy broke his paddle on this right at the start and all the wing feathers went past him, but Derek stopped and helped him out and got some help for him, right? So then I guess at that point, we were pretty far behind everyone else already. 76 00:06:57,209.802 --> 00:07:01,19.802 So you just took your time and filmed everyone, huh? Yeah. 77 00:07:01,19.802 --> 00:07:03,279.802 After that, I just changed the mindset. 78 00:07:05,614.802 --> 00:07:08,834.802 That's pilot John and me right here passing by. 79 00:07:08,834.802 --> 00:07:11,474.802 I was wondering why Derek come back to film us. 80 00:07:12,384.802 --> 00:07:18,874.801 Why then later we found out that he had to help one of the guys on the paddle that broke. 81 00:07:21,534.802 --> 00:07:21,744.802 Yeah. 82 00:07:21,744.802 --> 00:07:26,694.802 And also look like the official boat and right across your, the wake you are. 83 00:07:26,694.802 --> 00:07:27,34.8015 Yeah. 84 00:07:28,504.8015 --> 00:07:28,944.8015 Yeah. 85 00:07:28,994.8015 --> 00:07:29,384.8015 Yeah. 86 00:07:30,604.8015 --> 00:07:35,954.8025 At first I was mad that he went in my line, but I think that was like a good sign. 87 00:07:35,954.9025 --> 00:07:37,514.8025 If I wouldn't have. 88 00:07:38,14.8025 --> 00:07:38,794.8025 Stuck in that line. 89 00:07:38,794.8025 --> 00:07:42,724.8025 I wouldn't have seen a guy in the water waving, went by and I seen him waving. 90 00:07:42,724.8025 --> 00:07:50,359.8025 Then he was waving at the boats, actually, and the boats never stopped, and he started waving at the boilers and everybody just was kept going. 91 00:07:50,414.8025 --> 00:07:51,554.8025 And so I just came by. 92 00:07:51,554.8025 --> 00:07:55,784.8025 I was like, yo, you all right? And he said, nobody's stopping for me. 93 00:07:55,784.8025 --> 00:08:11,699.802 I was like, oh, don't care, So just stop and offered assistance, yeah, and then you track down one of the escort boats to help them out, yeah? Because the official boats already all were gone, right? Yeah, a bunch of the boats, jet skis, everybody just left. 94 00:08:12,289.803 --> 00:08:22,609.803 But I did see a boat all the way on the far corner on the Molokai side, and I ended up chasing them down, waving them down, and then got their attention. 95 00:08:22,609.803 --> 00:08:30,619.803 They followed me back to where the wars were sitting, and then from there I just took off and went back to the reefs. 96 00:08:31,59.802 --> 00:08:36,749.803 But, After that, it was just like, yeah, just have fun with it, get some photos of everybody. 97 00:08:37,369.803 --> 00:08:38,149.803 That's racing. 98 00:08:39,109.802 --> 00:08:40,709.703 Yeah, here's Nohia. 99 00:08:40,709.803 --> 00:08:45,629.802 Ready?

(12:10):
And actually, yeah, Derek, you finished in sixth or seventh place. 148 00:12:14,269.999 --> 00:12:15,649.999 So shortly behind.
So you caught up with a lot of people, along the way.
And then Edo.
I think.
Yeah, what's up guys? Oh yeah, that's what's up guys.
They came in pretty quick too.
.9995It was a super battle. 155 00:12:30,579.9995 --> 00:12:33,909.999 It's like a, it's like an arms race with with the stand up guys.
(12:35):
It's super heated. 157 00:12:37,669.999 --> 00:12:38,29.999 Yeah.
.999And yeah after we, I finished and my feet were burning. 159 00:12:42,219.999 --> 00:12:49,189.999 So I found that the finished tent and stood in the shade and took some video of some of the other people finishing, which was cool to see. 160 00:12:50,209.999 --> 00:13:04,9.998 And here you can see like a harbor once you come around the corner there, the wind is pretty dead, so it goes from super windy to lighter wind and then pretty much a wind shadow right behind the work there. 161 00:13:04,699.999 --> 00:13:09,569.999 Made it pretty hard for the, especially the stand up foilers to finish on foil. 162 00:13:10,199.999 --> 00:13:20,819.898 And there's Army Armstrong, I think, yeah, so they had to, it was like a pump fest at the end if they could make it. 163 00:13:21,19.899 --> 00:13:25,129.799 And then a lot of the wing foilers couldn't wing all the way to the finish line. 164 00:13:25,779.799 --> 00:13:37,249.6985 Were you guys all able to wing all the way to the finish line? Yeah, I got lucky somehow I got to the boat ramp, which was, I think, unusual. 165 00:13:37,249.6985 --> 00:13:37,279.698 Yeah. 166 00:13:37,279.798 --> 00:13:37,299.599 Cool. 167 00:13:38,699.699 --> 00:13:41,929.699 Yeah, it was light. 168 00:13:42,9.699 --> 00:13:44,499.699 And then I got scheme and it was enough. 169 00:13:44,499.699 --> 00:13:48,949.699 Pick us right back up to get in and the finish line was way inside. 170 00:13:49,589.699 --> 00:13:55,139.699 So we got in there. 171 00:13:57,759.699 --> 00:13:58,619.699 Yeah, perfect. 172 00:13:58,619.699 --> 00:14:00,389.699 Yeah, on that finish. 173 00:14:00,469.699 --> 00:14:04,39.699 There's a massive containers blocking and then there's open spots in it. 174 00:14:04,484.7 --> 00:14:05,964.7 The building and stuff like that. 175 00:14:05,964.7 --> 00:14:08,634.7 So you really have to like you see the texture on the water. 176 00:14:08,634.7 --> 00:14:09,804.7 You really have to read that. 177 00:14:10,354.7 --> 00:14:15,204.6995 And when you see the texture, you accelerate and get yourself to that next spot. 178 00:14:15,204.6995 --> 00:14:17,164.699 See how it's glassy right in that area. 179 00:14:17,214.7 --> 00:14:19,924.7 So you get as much acceleration as you can. 180 00:14:19,924.7 --> 00:14:21,184.699 So you can glide through the glassiness. 181 00:14:22,759.7 --> 00:14:27,309.7 Until you see the next textured zone, then you can power up again and get through. 182 00:14:27,539.7 --> 00:14:39,579.699 Because if you didn't do that and you just made your way and dilly dally, you would definitely drop off oil and you'd be like these guys, lay down paddling, which kind of a bummer to finish the race that way. 183 00:14:39,579.7 --> 00:14:44,829.7 But yeah, you just got to just lean into it and just make use of it. 184 00:14:44,829.7 --> 00:14:51,284.5995 And then once you come to that flat zone and you just pump, and just make it, will your way through. 185 00:14:53,604.6995 --> 00:15:12,969.7 Yeah, and that was where for me, even though I had the bigger, slower, a little bit slower foil at the end that kind of paid off because I was able to, pump through the lulls and basically pass Ken Winner and Justin Simmer were quite a bit faster than me, but then at the end they had to basically paddle paddle in to the finish. 186 00:15:13,489.7 --> 00:15:18,759.699 So they lost precious minutes at the end and I was able to pass them just flying on my bigger foil, so that was good. 187 00:15:20,39.699 --> 00:15:20,789.699 Oh, right on. 188 00:15:20,789.699 --> 00:15:22,739.698 Yeah, strategy, right? It pays off. 189 00:15:23,9.698 --> 00:15:34,389.698 If it's steady all the way and it's machine like, then of course the smaller foils and the bigger hand wings will win, but if it's like variable, just like regular nature. 190 00:15:34,804.699 --> 00:15:36,84.699 And you got no control. 191 00:15:36,174.699 --> 00:15:44,254.699 It's like you go with a faster one to the middle of the channel or you go with something a little bit bigger so that in the beginning you can get up right away. 192 00:15:44,734.698 --> 00:15:47,894.699 And at the end you can finish strong, it's always a gamble. 193 00:15:56,249.699 --> 00:16:04,199.699 Matt, what size oils were you and ZA using? We were both on the mic slab 700. 194 00:16:04,779.699 --> 00:16:05,319.699 Yeah. 195 00:16:05,464.699 --> 00:16:08,544.699 I think we were both on seven hundreds. 196 00:16:08,544.699 --> 00:16:17,94.699 Like knowing what I know now, if I had to do it again, I'd probably go, I'd probably go 600 or see if I could have gotten a five 40 before the race. 197 00:16:17,94.699 --> 00:16:21,509.699 But yeah, definitely the big learning for me overall with all these races we did was. 198 00:16:22,464.699 --> 00:16:25,34.699 Bigger hand wing, smaller foil. 199 00:16:25,634.699 --> 00:16:27,744.699 Yeah, but the 700 was nice to have me. 200 00:16:27,744.699 --> 00:16:31,54.6985 It's super fun riding bumps, but that was wasn't the point of racing. 201 00:16:31,54.6985 --> 00:16:35,264.6975 It does go fast, but it takes a lot of effort to make, to really go fast. 202 00:16:35,424.6985 --> 00:16:39,584.6985 So yeah, the 600, the 540 B would have been the choice if I could do it over again. 203 00:16:40,104.6985 --> 00:16:43,384.6985 But yeah, learned a lot about equipment for next year. 204 00:16:44,9.6985 --> 00:17:01,475.7207222 Another thing, Matt what did you learn about the ground and the asphalt on Molokai?

So yeah, it was just, it was a really fun race, really exciting, really challenging from a navigational perspective and then yeah, just really good wind. 59 00:05:23,809.801 --> 00:05:24,89.801 Yeah. 60 00:05:24,89.801 --> 00:05:30,399.801 And then you're Derek's they started the standup spoilers first, so Derek's kind of chasing them out a little bit. 61 00:05:31,14.801 --> 00:05:37,154.801 I think it was like five minutes before the wing full start right inside of the them. 62 00:05:37,154.801 --> 00:05:47,684.801 So, so that all the wing fullers are lining up and yeah, and the wind was pretty steady right from the start. 63 00:05:49,24.8 --> 00:05:49,674.8 Yes. 64 00:05:50,194.8 --> 00:05:50,604.8 Yeah. 65 00:05:50,724.801 --> 00:05:51,304.801 Wonderful. 66 00:05:56,14.801 --> 00:05:56,194.801 Yeah. 67 00:05:56,194.801 --> 00:06:03,84.801 The start of the standup they pretty much majority of the guys all got up and started going, which is good. 68 00:06:03,84.801 --> 00:06:13,694.8 They cleared our path, they went ahead, whatever boats had went ahead, and there was just a few boats that were, I guess, um, waiting for the wingers to start and everything else. 69 00:06:13,704.801 --> 00:06:17,674.8005 So, uh, we ended up getting up on four. 70 00:06:17,674.8005 --> 00:06:23,854.802 Once they sounded the horn for us to go, we went, and then all the rest of the boats and the paddlers all went too. 71 00:06:24,864.802 --> 00:06:30,544.802 I'm gonna play this part again because there's this guy waving wait, did I miss it already? But yeah, I hear it. 72 00:06:30,874.802 --> 00:06:38,559.802 This guy was waving, right? Waving at people and nobody stopped for him and then you stop right there. 73 00:06:38,559.802 --> 00:06:39,389.802 Yeah, they got right there. 74 00:06:39,719.802 --> 00:06:40,159.802 Yeah. 75 00:06:41,929.802 --> 00:06:57,189.802 So yeah, the guy broke his paddle on this right at the start and all the wing feathers went past him, but Derek stopped and helped him out and got some help for him, right? So then I guess at that point, we were pretty far behind everyone else already. 76 00:06:57,209.802 --> 00:07:01,19.802 So you just took your time and filmed everyone, huh? Yeah. 77 00:07:01,19.802 --> 00:07:03,279.802 After that, I just changed the mindset. 78 00:07:05,614.802 --> 00:07:08,834.802 That's pilot John and me right here passing by. 79 00:07:08,834.802 --> 00:07:11,474.802 I was wondering why Derek come back to film us. 80 00:07:12,384.802 --> 00:07:18,874.801 Why then later we found out that he had to help one of the guys on the paddle that broke. 81 00:07:21,534.802 --> 00:07:21,744.802 Yeah. 82 00:07:21,744.802 --> 00:07:26,694.802 And also look like the official boat and right across your, the wake you are. 83 00:07:26,694.802 --> 00:07:27,34.8015 Yeah. 84 00:07:28,504.8015 --> 00:07:28,944.8015 Yeah. 85 00:07:28,994.8015 --> 00:07:29,384.8015 Yeah. 86 00:07:30,604.8015 --> 00:07:35,954.8025 At first I was mad that he went in my line, but I think that was like a good sign. 87 00:07:35,954.9025 --> 00:07:37,514.8025 If I wouldn't have. 88 00:07:38,14.8025 --> 00:07:38,794.8025 Stuck in that line. 89 00:07:38,794.8025 --> 00:07:42,724.8025 I wouldn't have seen a guy in the water waving, went by and I seen him waving. 90 00:07:42,724.8025 --> 00:07:50,359.8025 Then he was waving at the boats, actually, and the boats never stopped, and he started waving at the boilers and everybody just was kept going. 91 00:07:50,414.8025 --> 00:07:51,554.8025 And so I just came by. 92 00:07:51,554.8025 --> 00:07:55,784.8025 I was like, yo, you all right?

Because the official boats already all were gone, right? Yeah, a bunch of the boats, jet skis, everybody just left. 94 00:08:12,289.803 --> 00:08:22,609.803 But I did see a boat all the way on the far corner on the Molokai side, and I ended up chasing them down, waving them down, and then got their attention. 95 00:08:22,609.803 --> 00:08:30,619.803 They followed me back to where the wars were sitting, and then from there I just took off and went back to the reefs. 96 00:08:31,59.802 --> 00:08:36,749.803 But, After that, it was just like, yeah, just have fun with it, get some photos of everybody. 97 00:08:37,369.803 --> 00:08:38,149.803 That's racing. 98 00:08:39,109.802 --> 00:08:40,709.703 Yeah, here's Nohia. 99 00:08:40,709.803 --> 00:08:45,629.802 Ready?

Yeah, I got lucky somehow I got to the boat ramp, which was, I think, unusual. 165 00:13:37,249.6985 --> 00:13:37,279.698 Yeah. 166 00:13:37,279.798 --> 00:13:37,299.599 Cool. 167 00:13:38,699.699 --> 00:13:41,929.699 Yeah, it was light. 168 00:13:42,9.699 --> 00:13:44,499.699 And then I got scheme and it was enough. 169 00:13:44,499.699 --> 00:13:48,949.699 Pick us right back up to get in and the finish line was way inside. 170 00:13:49,589.699 --> 00:13:55,139.699 So we got in there. 171 00:13:57,759.699 --> 00:13:58,619.699 Yeah, perfect. 172 00:13:58,619.699 --> 00:14:00,389.699 Yeah, on that finish. 173 00:14:00,469.699 --> 00:14:04,39.699 There's a massive containers blocking and then there's open spots in it. 174 00:14:04,484.7 --> 00:14:05,964.7 The building and stuff like that. 175 00:14:05,964.7 --> 00:14:08,634.7 So you really have to like you see the texture on the water. 176 00:14:08,634.7 --> 00:14:09,804.7 You really have to read that. 177 00:14:10,354.7 --> 00:14:15,204.6995 And when you see the texture, you accelerate and get yourself to that next spot. 178 00:14:15,204.6995 --> 00:14:17,164.699 See how it's glassy right in that area. 179 00:14:17,214.7 --> 00:14:19,924.7 So you get as much acceleration as you can. 180 00:14:19,924.7 --> 00:14:21,184.699 So you can glide through the glassiness. 181 00:14:22,759.7 --> 00:14:27,309.7 Until you see the next textured zone, then you can power up again and get through. 182 00:14:27,539.7 --> 00:14:39,579.699 Because if you didn't do that and you just made your way and dilly dally, you would definitely drop off oil and you'd be like these guys, lay down paddling, which kind of a bummer to finish the race that way. 183 00:14:39,579.7 --> 00:14:44,829.7 But yeah, you just got to just lean into it and just make use of it. 184 00:14:44,829.7 --> 00:14:51,284.5995 And then once you come to that flat zone and you just pump, and just make it, will your way through. 185 00:14:53,604.6995 --> 00:15:12,969.7 Yeah, and that was where for me, even though I had the bigger, slower, a little bit slower foil at the end that kind of paid off because I was able to, pump through the lulls and basically pass Ken Winner and Justin Simmer were quite a bit faster than me, but then at the end they had to basically paddle paddle in to the finish. 186 00:15:13,489.7 --> 00:15:18,759.699 So they lost precious minutes at the end and I was able to pass them just flying on my bigger foil, so that was good. 187 00:15:20,39.699 --> 00:15:20,789.699 Oh, right on. 188 00:15:20,789.699 --> 00:15:22,739.698 Yeah, strategy, right? It pays off. 189 00:15:23,9.698 --> 00:15:34,389.698 If it's steady all the way and it's machine like, then of course the smaller foils and the bigger hand wings will win, but if it's like variable, just like regular nature. 190 00:15:34,804.699 --> 00:15:36,84.699 And you got no control. 191 00:15:36,174.699 --> 00:15:44,254.699 It's like you go with a faster one to the middle of the channel or you go with something a little bit bigger so that in the beginning you can get up right away. 192 00:15:44,734.698 --> 00:15:47,894.699 And at the end you can finish strong, it's always a gamble. 193 00:15:56,249.699 --> 00:16:04,199.699 Matt, what size oils were you and ZA using? We were both on the mic slab 700. 194 00:16:04,779.699 --> 00:16:05,319.699 Yeah. 195 00:16:05,464.699 --> 00:16:08,544.699 I think we were both on seven hundreds. 196 00:16:08,544.699 --> 00:16:17,94.699 Like knowing what I know now, if I had to do it again, I'd probably go, I'd probably go 600 or see if I could have gotten a five 40 before the race. 197 00:16:17,94.699 --> 00:16:21,509.699 But yeah, definitely the big learning for me overall with all these races we did was. 198 00:16:22,464.699 --> 00:16:25,34.699 Bigger hand wing, smaller foil. 199 00:16:25,634.699 --> 00:16:27,744.699 Yeah, but the 700 was nice to have me. 200 00:16:27,744.699 --> 00:16:31,54.6985 It's super fun riding bumps, but that was wasn't the point of racing. 201 00:16:31,54.6985 --> 00:16:35,264.6975 It does go fast, but it takes a lot of effort to make, to really go fast. 202 00:16:35,424.6985 --> 00:16:39,584.6985 So yeah, the 600, the 540 B would have been the choice if I could do it over again. 203 00:16:40,104.6985 --> 00:16:43,384.6985 But yeah, learned a lot about equipment for next year. 204 00:16:44,9.6985 --> 00:17:01,475.7207222 Another thing, Matt what did you learn about the ground and the asphalt on Molokai?
