Over a thousand competitors dove into the waters of Anaehoomalu Bay in Waikoloa, and amongst them was a world champion in car racing.
Jenson Button is a British Formula One driver and the 2009 World Drivers’ Champion, currently signed to McLaren. It was on the Big Island of Hawaii where Button met seven-times Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong by chance in January, and the biking legend gave Button a few tips before the Lavaman Waikoloa.

Button’s next F1 race is coming up in Malaysia. He is currently ranked 6th in the standings.
