Woo-hoo.

''Just spoke to Trav?s boat again: He?s rounding China Walls and there?s no sign of Kai and Connor. Still a lot of wind and tide pushing out from Hawaii Kai so it?ll definitely be a grind for the final 10 minutes.''

''This has been an amazing paddle by the highly under rated Aussie. He?s racing Kai and Connor in their own back yard, plus he?s had to go up against Kai Lenny?s coaching dream team (Kai Bartlett and Dave Kalama) and Connor?s quest for a three-peat. If he pulls this off it?ll be an amazing victory. Though Trav had plenty of support on his own escort boat: Marshall Rowe and Billy Robello guiding him, with wife Blair shouting plenty of encouragement.''

Maybe he paddled the best line or maybe he just paddled a whole lot harder.

The board is a custom shaped for Travis by Billy Robello.

Yep Trav's board was shaped by Billy Robello. Billy is a paddler and beachboy, he's a great customer of NSP in Hawaii and together with our distributor in Hawaii Buzz Hansen they organised the board and logistics for Trav with pretty short notice.

How stoked would Trav be right now.

Molokai2oahu website says Danny Ching 3rd two minutes behind Scott, I thought he pulled out.

Well done Trav and come on Terrene.

That has to be a mistake, Danny definitely pulled out with a shoulder injury. Connor was 3rd.

So Travis wasn't paddling a nsp or dc. Wasn't there a thread where people were ripping in on sponsored riders using other boards with some stickers... Well done Travis. Sounds like a clean sweep is on the cards. Big night coming I think!!!
