Aussie Zhik rider Terrene Black has claimed her third M2O crown by overpowering former champ Sonni Hönscheid on a record-setting day in Hawaii. With conditions in the infamous Ka'iwi Channel (aka the "Channel of Bones") near-perfect, Terrene paddled at another level to win by 20 minutes and set a new record of 4 hours 34 minutes.

Her victory completed an incredible clean sweep of the unlimited divisions for Australia, with James Casey triumphant in the men's SUP race and Harriet Brown and Matt Bevilacqua saluting in the traditional prone paddleboard event. I believe this is the third time the Aussies have swept the event following similar performances in 2013 and 2018 (where Terrene is the only common denominator).
