M2O 2025 Launches with Historic Live Broadcast of Foil Race on KHON2 and Rogue TV
HONOLULU, HI – July 15, 2025 — The 2025 Moloka‘i 2 O‘ahu Paddleboard World Championships (M2O), presented by the United States Coast Guard, are set to begin with a major milestone: the event’s first-ever live broadcast of the Foil Edition, airing Sunday, July 20 from 11:00 AM to 1:30 PM HST.
For the first time in the race’s prestigious history, fans around the world can watch the excitement of the 40+ mile Kaiwi Channel crossing unfold in real time, thanks to a new partnership with KHON2 in Hawai‘i and the global adventure sports platform Rogue TV. Local viewers can tune in via KHON2, while international audiences can stream the broadcast through the Rogue TV app or at Rogue.TV.
Racers will have trackers and you can follow your favorite athlete while watching the race on Rouge TV.
The introduction of live coverage marks a new era for M2O, bringing unprecedented visibility to a race long regarded as one of the most grueling and iconic in ocean sports. This weekend’s broadcast will spotlight both the SUP Foil and Wing Foil divisions, showcasing elite athletes battling wind, waves, and currents across the treacherous “Channel of Bones” from Moloka‘i to the finish line at Waikīkī’s Kaimana Beach.
