I have just sent in my entry for the Raging Isle Sprint (1 mile) on June 28, from Sunset Beach to the Pipeline. Has any forumite ever been in this race? Any tips? I have swum ocean open water before (2 miles the longest), but never on the North Shore. Will be joining my Oahu resident sister and brother-in-law. Can't wait!

It's a fun race, you will enjoy it. I've done it for many years. It's a short race and you're with the current. One year though, it was rough to where they had to change the course, but I found it to be fun because it was different and there was so much surf closeby that the water was splashing your face while swimming.
The scenary is nice. When finishing, the waves can get kind of rough and you have to go up a hill a smidge to the top to complete the race. I will most likely be doing it this year. You are picking a great place to visit. :)
