Race season has arrived in Washington DC!
It is hard to believe this photo is from 10 years ago when I was giving the Washington Canoe Club Kumu'ohu Challenge safety talk (with the map drawn on the back of my ULI Boards ). It came up in my facebook memories today, loved those early days of SUP Racing!
So this is also a reminder that the, now, 18th Annual Kumu'ohu Challenge is coming up on April 20th but REGISTRATION CLOSES WED, APRIL 17TH so if you haven't already registered, please do it now.

Hi everyone!
My friend Trish has decided that the Starboard she just purchased isn't the right board for her so she is eager to sell it and find one that is more appropriate for the kind of paddling she does. So, this is a brand new board that has only been in the water 2-3 times and is now significantly discounted.
For sale: 2023 Starboard Sprint carbon zero race board - 14 ft, 25.5 inches wide. Brand new, 19 pounds, perfect condition, super fast and stable in chop as well as calm water. Board includes new board bag ($300 value) and a Black Project Tiger racing fin ($175 value). If interested please PM me- will sell at significant discount from retail price of $5,000-plus.
The board is located in Washington DC and available to demo.
If you are interested, please text Trish at 202-679-4557
