It's a remarkable feat of endurance on a stretch of water you've likely never heard of.
The Ka'iwi Channel also known as the "Channel of bones" in Hawai'i was once again host to the Molokai2Oahu Paddleboard World Championships, yesterday.
The 52-kilometre race saw dozens of Kiwis not only taking part ... but taking out the top spots.
22-year-old Joe Wilson - one of four paddle boarders from the Mairangi Bay Surf Lifesaving Club to compete - placed second in his category, with a time of six hours and 20 minutes.
He speaks to Jesse from Honolulu.
