An 11 mile round trip paddle race on the Estero Americano. Knowledge of Bovine Trivia is advisable. Get ready for the 25th annual Cow Patty Pageant! We’ll once again paddle the udderly fabulous Estero Americano on Saturday, February 4, 2017. It is one of the oldest ongoing paddle sports events in Northern California and owes its popularity and staying power to outstanding past organizers, voluntee
rs, stalwart sponsors and you, the paddle sport community. I’m thrilled to be a part of continuing this tradition as this year’s organizer. This paddle sport race is open to all paddle craft: kayak, canoe, SUP, outrigger, ski... you name it! It’s a beautiful round trip paddle on the scenic Estero Americano (near Valley Ford / Bodega Bay). There’ll be a long course, approximately 11.5 miles and short course of 5.5 miles. Not only will your swift gait on the water gain you kudos and admiration from all, but there’ll be prizes for best pageant entry, so get a mooooove on planning your outfitting!
