The OluKai Ho’olaule’a is one of the premier events on the SUP racing circuit. It’s got everything: Top paddlers, top location (Maui’s famous Maliko downwind run), big prize money, great organisation and perhaps most important of all, the OluKai SUP race has hundreds of competitors. It’s one of the funnest races you can do, and the only thing better than competing in OluKai itself is getting to watch a kickass highlights reel, which you can do right now…

Check out this full-length production of the 2013 OluKai Ho Stand Up Paddle and Outrigger race from the awesome team at Ocean Paddler TV. There’s some great angles from the chopper, some cool slow-mo shots and heaps of race action. Plus there’s plenty of interviews with the paddlers, including Dave Kalama, Kai Lenny, Livio Menelau, Scott Gamble, the Downwind Queen Andrea Moller, as well as Connor Baxter, who successfully defended his Olukai crown six weeks ago.

So watch the whole clip above and when you’re done you can relive the 2013 OluKau Ho’olaule’a RESULTS (as well as the 2012 Olukai results, which featured one of the most competitive fields in downwind history).
