Relay Surfski teams are encouraged to find a suitable sized partner, or a ski with easily adjusting foot pedals so that no craft changes are needed. If substitute crafts are used, it is subject to paddlers finding an escort willing to change crafts mid channel. OC-1 relay teams must use one canoe.
All relay teams are entered in the age group of the youngest team member. Hence, youngest paddler determines your category. If Junior and adult paddle together the category is 19-39 (19–54 for OC-2).
Surfski solo and Tandem relay teams will default top 3 to open with age group placing starting with 4th

Molokai Protocol and Good Neighbor Policy.

Escorts for the Molokai to Oahu canoe races are to escort paddlers back to Oahu.  The boaters must adhere to the following rules.  
                                                                                                   

* Observe a no wake (less than 5 mph) speed within 500 yards of any shoreline.  There have been several instances of speeding escort boats almost hitting divers.

* No fishing of any type within 500 yards of shore.
* No Opihi picking.
* No harvesting of lobster, it is out of season from May to August.
* No camping on private property or non-designated camping areas, including Make Horse Beach.  The Molokai Police Department will be sending officers to cite unpermitted camping.  There will be a legal, permitted set up at Papohaku Park.
* You must pick up your trash.  It would be a great gesture of good will if you could leave Molokai cleaner than when you got there.
* The Shoreline area will be patrolled 24/7. Any escort boats not in compliance with the rules above will be recorded and will be marked for all future events that start or finish in Molokai.  All Molokai event organizers have agreed to abide by the rules and ban any captains and their boats that do not respect the local protocol. Please kokua!
