The island of Kauai continually breeds world class ocean athletes and Kristin Foster is at the top of the outrigger world. A multiple time outrigger World Champion, she has won the Molokai to Oahu solo one-man race twice, has been a part of the top women’s 9-man team for more than a decade, has won this same race in the two person relay event, and has a long, long list of paddling accomplishments in big water.

Born and raised on Kauai, Kristen calls the North Shore her home; where she juggles work, family and training at the highest level. Her husband is a first responder and outrigger coach, she’s a mom of two and as humble as they come. Kristin does not like to be in the limelight… She likes to be “stealth” so I am super stoked and grateful that she shared her rad story on the Passion Project.
