West Coast Championship 2014 March 1st & 2nd Sand Key FL
The West Coast Championships was one of the best race event of the year. Ideal weather and ideal location made for 2 days of intense paddling. Saturday OC-6 500m sprints. Saturday the beach was packed with hundreds of participants from clubs as far away as Miami and Atlanta. Kai Aniani really over performed winning every event. Sunday not as many participants but those who competed were very highly skilled paddlers. We raced an ideal 8 mile course for SUP, OC-1 and Surfski from Sand Key straight out thru Clearwater Pass out to Marker #1 and back twice. This course turned out to be one of the best course choices I have paddled in Florida. The pass had its challenges on a great incoming current and side current as edge of the Sand Key jetty. It was an ideal race under ideal condition, a real change from the last few years. I stayed for both days and I'll be back next year.
