Hank McGregor Wins 2nd Molokai Title
Hank McGregor wins...
A few hours ago Hank McGregor won his second Molokai title in similar conditions to the first...
The trade winds that had been blowing the week before the race fizzled out on Thursday and the paddlers were faced with a gruelling flat water grind across the Kaiwi Channel in stifling 30 degree C temperatures.
McGregor beat Clint Robinson, Cory Hill and Jeremy Cotter who came 2nd, 3rd and 4th respectively. Jasper Mocke came 5th.
Oscar Chalupsky came 8th.
