Please be on time to registration. If you're not in line until after 9:30, you will get a 1 minute penalty for each minute you are late. It's really important that everyone is on time so that registration can get finished and we can be ready for results. If you're late, it holds up the entire race. Race briefing is mandatory. We have asked the water officials to keep track of any boats that are in the water during the race briefing, and you will be DQ'd if you are. We really hate having to DQ people or give out penalties, so please remember to be on time to registration and to attend the race briefing! Serving delicious fresh poke and plate lunches, Danny's Poke Truck is located across from Costco on Haleakala Hwy. To quote Sunset Magazine: \"Just five minutes from the airport, in a warehouse parking lot where tourists would never go, is some of the island's best poke. Danny Kalahiki mixes it to order in his vintage-style quilted-steel lunch wagon. Must-have: the ahi shoyu wasabi poke. The marinade is a perfect balance of salty, sweet, spicy, and umami.\"

Cutoff time
There will be a cutoff time for this race. Cutoff time 4:30 for long course. This is for safety so that our safety boats aren't as spread out, so we can't just say that you can do it and pull out if you're still far away from the finish. It is also important for safety that we can get an accurate count more quickly at the end of the race to ensure that everyone is safely back to shore.

Experience Required
This is an open ocean race, participants must have open ocean experience. There will be a section on the entry form for you to describe your open ocean experience on OC-1/OC-2/SS/SUP. If you do not have sufficient open ocean experience, you may be required to have an escort boat, or your entry may not be approved. Your entry fee will be refunded if denied. Feel free to email us if you're not sure.

SUPs: For long course, you must pre-qualify by having done M2M or NSC in under 4:30 and getting pre-approval from us before registering.

Failure to wear a bright visible jersey for the entire duration of the race will result in a DQ and no time.

Pre-Qualification:

In order to race without an escort boat, pre-qualification is required before registering. You can pre-qualify in one of 2 ways:
1. Email us to get pre-approved based on your experience. Describe your experience and include the biggest races are that you've done and your times, and if possible contact info on your coach for a reference.
2. Completed one of the following races iron (not relay), within the specified time. OC-6 doesn’t count. Note that if you've done these races in longer than the specified time this does not necessarily disqualify you, you'll just need to get pre-approval as in #1 above.
-M2M in under 3:45
-North Shore Challenge - Keanae in under 3:45
-North Shore Challenge - Kahakuloa in under 4:15
-Kaiwi Solo in under 5:40

If you do not pre-qualify to race without an escort boat, you can still race with an escort boat as long as your experience shows you are likely able to complete the race in under the cutoff time of 4:30 in typical Pailolo conditions. The cutoff time is important for safety so that our safety boats don’t get too spread out.

Registration
Pre-registration is required! There is no morning-of registration for this race. You can register online, or we also plan on having in person pre-registration event, most likely the week before. Juniors must have a paper waiver signed by their parent or guardian.

Experience & Cutoff time
This race is for experienced paddlers only. The cutoff time is 4 hours and 30 minutes, so if you believe, or in our judgement from reviewing past race results that you may not be able to make it close to 4:30, you may not be able to race, or you may be required to have your own escort boat (not jetski). This is for safety so that our safety boats aren't too spread out, so we can't just say that you can do it and pull out if you're still far away from the finish. It is also important for safety that we can get an accurate count more quickly at the end of the race to ensure that everyone is in.

Jerseys
You must wear the official Maui to Moloka'i Jersey (included in registration). This is for safety, and there are no exceptions. No nudge nudge, wink wink like in some previous years, we have to be strict on this. Failure to wear the jersey for the entire duration of the race will result in a DQ and no time. We did our best to order enough of each size to accommodate everybody, however, sizes will be given in the order that you register, so register early to ensure you get the size you want!

This is an open ocean race, participants must have open ocean experience. There will be a section on the entry form for you to describe your open ocean experience on OC-1/OC-2/SS.
