One of the best events on the SUP race calendar, the OluKai Ho, is almost ready to take over Maui’s famous Maliko run. We’re just 48 hours from seeing many of the world’s finest downwind paddlers battle it out for the $15k in cash and glory.

The 2012 race was a cracker, with Connor Baxter and Andrea Moller defeating a star-studded field, and this year the two will start as favourites again. As always we’ll have full results up straight after the event, so check back on Saturday afternoon. But in the meantime, if you can’t make it to Hawaii this weekend then watch a great highlights clip from last year’s event and see what you’re missing… (hint: a lot)
