| - | * **Molokai To Oahu** Finish in Maunalua Bay on Oahu southside. The Molokai to Oahu ([[:races:hawaii_races#o_ahumoloka_i|M20 race]]) run is where the best of the best test their true grit. There's also the fact that the M20 downwind run also hosts what is considered the world championships for OC-1 and SUP. The M2O is a very challenging run that spans 32-miles from Molokai to Oahu through the Ka Iwi Channel, a.k.a. the "Channel of Bones". This run provides big swells and unpredictable currents making it very dangerous. The M2O is not for the ill prepared and requires significant knowledge and skill to be completed safely. | + | * **Molokai To Oahu** Finish in Maunalua Bay on Oahu southside.

This is the BEST **Ahi Katsu** out there. I get it “well done” with the salad and rice. They also sell some of the best **Poke**, (raw fish). It’s a local secret, so for those who want to try out what the locals love, definitely add this to the priority of things to do when in Hawaii!" | * [[https://www.facebook.com/people/Kens-Fresh-Fish/100031454427004/|Ken’s Fresh Fish]] - family owned business (Open only on Friday and Saturday from 11:00am till 6:00pm) down in Laie on the North Shore of Oahu (55300 Kamehameha Hwy, late, HI 96762).

| * **Dessert:** I love this little spot called “[[http://www.onoyohawaii.com/|Ono Yo]]” in Kahuku. They sell the best frozen yogurt out there. It isn’t anything like fro-yo, since they make their frozen yogurt with greek-yogurt and fresh fruits. I get the plain flavor with a bunch of fresh fruit on top. YOU HAVE GOT TO TRY IT.
