Vancouver SUP Challenge

Last weekend (August 7th) was the Vancouver SUP Challenge at Jericho Beach, Vancouver B.C.

The race was 4 kilos in really rough, choppy conditions. The first leg of the race was mostly survival, just trying to stay upright...

I ended up 3rd behind two 14's on my 12'6" Competitor
