The no wind turned to a head wind, But, the 1st hour an half was for sure wave riding, more from all the canoes and escort boats, about 2 hours we settled into the long hard strokes into the wind and waves, thinking its about now we should turn around and surf back to Molokai?

3 hours went by, then 4 then 5 and we are getting close to Hanauma bay, in along the china wall for a bouncy ride then about 2-3km of riding some pretty big waves into Hawaii Kai.

We did finish just 20 seconds ahead of Lauren Bartlet, making Tina the real 1st woman to cross the line. 27th overall with 91 on the start line.

A big thank you to everyone out there that help us get here and with all the practice and shuttle driving.
