The Channel of Bones that features Toni Enderli‘s charity crossing of the Molokai (Ka’iwi) Channel between Molokai Island and Oahu Island was nominated for the 2017 World Open Water Swimming Offering of the Year.
The Channel of Bones is a documentary film by Silverline Productions of Toni Enderli’s 20 hour 35 minute crossing of the 42 km Molokai Channel. From his dramatic finishing on Sandy Beach on Oahu to his interactions with escort pilot Ivan Shigaki, adviser Linda Kaiser and crew members Andrew Mitchell, the film is riveting.
What is arguably most remarkable about Enderli’s third Oceans Seven channel crossing is that the 40-year-old South African entrepreneur actually predicted a 20-hour swim before the swim while standing on the shore of Molokai.
