Mick DiBetta

For nearly four decades, Mick DiBetta @allpaddling has dedicated his life to the ocean; saving lives, racing across it, and coaching some of the world’s greatest paddlers.

Raised in Brisbane, Mick grew up competing in Australia’s fiercely competitive surf lifesaving scene before becoming a professional Gold Coast lifeguard, a career spanning nearly 40 years. Along the way, he captured multiple Australian and World Surf Life Saving titles and developed a deep, lifelong connection with Hawaii.

In 1997, Mick made history by winning the inaugural Molokai to Oahu Paddleboard World Championship (M2O) and made a pact to do the race every year… and to bring some of Australia’s best paddlers back with him. That’s exactly what he’s done. He’s done the race 25 times and… brought the best with him.

Through his experience and his science-based AllPaddling @allpaddling coaching program, Mick has guided athletes to 16 M2O victories, including Jamie Mitchell’s unprecedented 10 consecutive championships.

In 2026, Mick tackled the iconic Catalina Classic for the first time, finishing 9th in his 60s. That performance extended an extraordinary record: 26 channel-crossing races, every one completed in under six hours and every one finishing in the top 10! Truly incredible. Will anyone ever be able to touch that? Doubtful.

Lifeguard, world champion, elite coach, and lifelong waterman, Mick hasn’t simply competed at the highest levels of prone paddling. He’s helped define the sport and shape generations of its greatest athletes.

You can find the full interview on the @mark_schulein_passion_project podcast on YouTube and all podcast platforms.

First surfski race in the books, it was a fun one for sure!

I couldn’t have done it without my family, mahalo Kai Waa Canoes for always supporting me with the best gear and canoes, especially Aunty Kea for everything she does for the team.

A huge thank you to my dad for always believing in me and pushing me to be better every day. Thank you also to Pat Dolan for the early morning practices and training. Watching you surfski and hold world records in both OC1 and ski inspired me to step out of my comfort zone and take on this race, with many more to come.

Thank you to my boat crew as well for the support and guidance.

I was also honored today to race Kai’s personal ski, one he was never able to paddle. I could feel him with me every step of the way. 🪽🌊#kaiwaastrong

2026 Molokaʻi challenge paddlers rounding the corner at China Walls with the finish line finally in sight. Cool watching the paddlers decide whether to take the inside line between the sets or stay outside. 🌊

Also, fun getting to watch and learn from @bradstyron behind the camera as well. 🎥🤙

🫡 Meet Pat — our Commander Doc keeping the crew focused, on track and very much in check.

Straight out of County Cavan, Pat is the calm voice of reason making sure the mission stays on course while the rest of us try not to go off script 🎙️

Whether he’s dropping a masterclass in assistive technology and accessibility, solving tech problems before we’ve even noticed them, or guiding us through all things magnification, Pat always keeps things moving forward. 🔍💻

And when it comes to MacBooks? There’s very little this Commander Doc doesn’t know. Add in his legendary leg of lamb and you’ve got a man with talents far beyond the tech. 🍖

Quietly leading from the front, commanding the technology and keeping the rest of us in line… every crew needs a Commander Doc like Pat. 👏

Full circle 🌊

Pat Dolan @pattyds808 was once a 16-year-old crossing the Kaiwi Channel with Kai Bartlett.�Now, he’s passing that same opportunity to Nathan Grocholski Jr.. @nathan_kealii

One month after Kai’s passing, this Molokaʻi Relay meant more than a race.
�It’s legacy. It’s mentorship. It’s carrying it forward.
