Awesome race today. Thanks to Peasey and the SUPSA crew for pulling off a great event.
Very cool to see the Frenchie Titouan fly in 36 hours before the event and proceed to show up all the local hotshots! This guy has only been paddling 12 months... scary... Granted he has 10 years outrigger experience, but still, he is only 22 years old so expect to see his name on plenty more podiums in the near future.
Also a great battle between Karla and Angie in the women's!
Final results are up on SUPracer.com (thanks to Ryan Keck for doing the timing!)
