The race pits the top one-man paddlers from Hawaii, who qualified by finishing among the leaders of last May's Kaiwi Challe-
nge, a tandem race from Molokai to Oahu. Six teams have been invited to the event, with each team allowed as many crew changes as desired.
The teams are: brothers John and Jim Foti; Mark Rigg and Walter Guild; Courtney Seto and Chris Kincaid; Steve Cole and Pat Erwin; Michael Smith and Rich Lambert, and Todd Bradley and Todd Hart.
The Fotis were members of the winning Molokai Hoe crew from Lanikai Canoe Club last October. Recently, John Foti won the Hamilton Island, Australia, sprint race while Jim Foti was the marathon race winner.
Rigg is the defending Bankoh Molokai Kayak Challenge champion. Guild doubled up in Australia with victories in the sprint and marathon masters races.
Seto was on the winning Kaiwi Challenge crew in 1994 and Kincaid finished second in the 1995 Molokai Kayak Challenge.
Cole, from Kauai, won the 1995 Kayak Challenge. Kailua's Erwin won the '94 Kayak Challenge.
Smith and Lambert were on the Lanikai crew in the 1996 Molokai Hoe. Bradley and Hart have been on previous Molokai Hoe winning crews from Outrigger.
