Team Aqua Paddles to Victory in Race One!
The YOLO Paddle Board Race was going off last night! With more teams, more spectators, music, and fanfare, the event is taking on a life and providing a great opportunity for folks who love the outdoors to just get together and enjoy. Ma nature helped too by throwing up another spectacular sunset.

The men from Aqua Surf Shop earned top honors. Arriving just a few minutes late, they got held over to a third heat of racing. Racing with fewer head to head teams would seem to be a disadvantage, but they pushed themselves and racing against the clock delivered the fastest time of the event. Congratulations Team Aqua!
Equally impressive to me was the great showing of Ladies for this event. With the YOLO Women and the team formerly known as Waterbugs now Walton Wahines (much more flattering) demonstrating that fun is an equal opportunity experience.
On that note, there were plenty of kids checking out the scene and showing their skill paddle boarding. They were frequently riding tandem and even trandem? I think we’ll have to open up a category just for the kids!
For more information see the YOLO press release.
The next race is just a couple weeks away. We’ll keep you posted. Don’t miss it!
