M2O celebrates the Virtual 3.0 Edition kick-off with highlights from 2021.

This new video features a compilation of the athletes from around the world paddling together globally.

The annual race is a deeply personal experience, challenging every paddler’s physical and mental endurance.

In its first year, the crossing was considered a “friendly challenge” between legendary lifeguards and watermen of O’ahu.

The Virtual 3.0 Edition and the Blue Water Classic will continue to share this deep passion and continue to celebrate the sport of paddling far and wide.

Paddleboarding fans are encouraged to get the latest M2O news through Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

The cancellation of the 2022 M2O will allow our paddling communities to stay safe and connected with the Virtual Edition on the same weekend of the original cancelled race.

We look forward to celebrating 2023 in the Ka’iwi Channel.

The challenging Blue Water Hawaiian Classic will offer a very challenging course to athletes that can travel.

We look forward to connecting soon.

M2O is an open-ocean endurance paddleboard challenge, featuring racers in PRONE, SUP and FOIL divisions. Connecting the islands of Moloka’i and O’ahu, the 32-mile race crosses the Ka’iwi Channel, is a true test for all athletes as they navigate strong currents, heavy winds and a deep channel to arrive at the south shores of O’ahu.

Men and women from more than 20 countries will face challenging conditions as they navigate the fastest downwind route over one of the deepest channels in the world.

Top athletes typically complete the crossing in less than five hours, riding mid-channel waves that can crest more than 12 feet and carry paddlers hundreds of meters at a time.

The race starts on Kaluakoi Beach on the north shore of Moloka’i and finishes at Maunalua Bay on the south shore of O’ahu.
