We will supply free storage if you stay for M4Molokai for those racing in the M2O which is at least a $40 savings if shipping your board for the race. If you are doing both of our races we will deliver to Kaluakoi at no charge so again more savings.
For those not racing the M4Molokai we do have container storage for the M2O for $50. Please supply your straps and board bags. We are not liable for damages.
We still have camping options at both County Park and Alii Fishpond. Alii fishpond is a little more but the location is awesome.
