Boca Hawaii's founder and director, Raul Torres, nicknamed Boca, has successfully accomplished his goal of creating a support system for athletes wanting to improve themselves, no matter what their ability level or goals may be. One of Hawaii's top athletes and coaches, Raul is a Brazilian with a zest for life. Coming to Hawaii in 1989 to do the Kona Ironman, Raul fell in love with Hawaii's charm. Beginning with structured programs for races like the Tinman, Raul saw that athletes needed and enjoyed training with other athletes to help motivate and push them past their limits. Since then, this very inspirational Brazilian continues to spread his enthusiasm for the sport of triathlon with not just one, but 10 training programs throughout the year. Having organized an incredible team of coaches and consultants, Raul has covered all bases when it comes to a complete training program.

Besides coaching, Raul is passionate about providing quality races for island athletes and truly enjoys presenting outdoor challenges to learn and grow from. Boca Hawaii is all about the sheer challenge of being the best you can be no matter what goal you seek to realize. As Boca says, Train with passion!
