32 MILES
Duane Desoto trained for two months. Five days a week, he would paddle from Makapu'u to Waikiki, prepping for the grueling Quiksilver Editon 32 Mile Molokai to Oahu Race. Here, he's all smiles and ready to go. He was the same way when he finished, some six hours and 17 minutes later. All to benefit Hawaii's youth and the ocean.
