Alone in the Deep Pacific at 17: Winning the 32-Mile M2O Wing Foil Race

Alone in the deep Pacific at 17: Watch Marley Franco fly 32 miles on a hydrofoil to win the legendary Molokaʻi 2 Oʻahu (M2O) Wing Foil race. With no land in sight, 18-knot trade winds, and massive open-ocean swells in Hawaii’s notorious Kaʻiwi Channel, one mistake can end your race. Go behind the scenes of Marley’s Maui training block—from SUP downwind runs and parawing sessions with Adrien Destang to dialing in his winning North Mode Ultra 6.2m wing, Midi 5'2" (55L) board, and High Aspect HA550 carbon foil setup. --- As the undisputed global leader in sailmaking, North Sails pioneers performance-led design and advanced 3Di engineering across all wind-powered sports.
