Molokai Channel
Gordon will be joined by a highly specialized and talented crew of his trusted friends that include Chris Kincaid, Mark Rigg, Mike Field, Jim Beaton, photographer JOSS, and Dale Hope. All of these men are specially chosen for their talents or their extensive knowledge of the area. "I grew up with these guys and greatly respect them. They’re all pretty much world-class athletes."
