Adventure Sports

Jamie Mitchelle is a 33 year old who is more than an accomplished SUPer and has 9 Molokai and Oahu paddle-board titles.  He is the person that goes on 50 km paddles and at some points gets blown off track and lost at sea.  The Coast Guard searches, but cannot find him, and then somehow he finds his way back.  He explained that Molokai is between 30-40% mental because while you are out there at sea you face pain and sometimes even set-backs.  Its those who keep going that push through and succeed.  Also, other factors such as wind and the weather can hinder your performance, but really one has to not worry about that and just go out there to finish.  Due to all of his success, it makes sense that he was nominated for the Adventurer of the Year Award by National Geographic.
