2010 Duke’s OceanFest SUP Race

2010-dukes-oceanfest-sup-race-01

Here are some pictures I took before the start of the 2010 Duke’s OceanFest SUP Race. The race had a good turnout this year with a lot of competitors. The conditions this year weren’t as good as in 2009, hence the slower times but the last 2 miles seemed to be the best I can remember. We had some wind but a bad tide slowed our times. The tide seemed to change toward the end which helped. So did the small surf. I rode the SIC Bullet 17′4″ and took a really far outside line. The only guy outside of me was a lie down paddle boarder and he was about 30 feet outside of me. Other than that, everyone else was inside of me. I think that probably hurt my overall time but I didn’t want to get stuck in the pack.

Robert Stehlik sent us this video of the Blue Planet Surf SUP Clinic and Demo Day which was held last Nov. 6, 2010. The highlights of that day were Board Design Clinics with John Amundson and Kevin Seid. There was also a short paddling clinic with Jeff Chang and Robert Stehlik. I was there and definitely think people got some good info. Robert’s friend Fabrice shot and edited the video below.

2010 Cline Mann Memorial Paddleboard Race

2010-cline-mann-memorial-paddleboard-race-19

Here are some pictures I took from 2010 Cline Mann Race which was held a while back. This race was during the 6 man canoe regatta season which I participated in…kinda. I got sick a few weeks into the season and was laid out for a couple weeks. I was out of the water for almost a month. I only paddled in the first and last race of the season. I wish I could have been strong for the whole season.
