First SUP Race


Had my first Stand Up Paddleboard race today in Capitola.  It was the Covewater Classic and it was a free and just a "fun" 3.5 mile race.  My board isn't built to race because it's a foam board but it was still fun and even with the Wave Storm under my feet I did pretty well.  And it was gorgeous out which made it even better!!!  As I came in to the finish, the first place woman finished behind me and said, "You kicked my ass on a Wave Storm!!!"  I was pretty happy about that.  I also finished with the two other guys I came with.  It's very tempting to go out and purchase a real board to see if I'd be able to compete.  Either way it was a good time, good people and there was an after party with great food.
