Just over two months away from race day! Lots going down between now and then!

Two of the biggest races on the planet, the Molokai-2-Oahu Paddleboard World Championships, will run this Sunday, and the Catalina Classic will run on August 24th. One of our "Battle on the Bay" competitors and local Capitola grom, Ryder Walding, will be racing in both before he lines up at our starting line!!

Good luck this Sunday, Ryder!
