I would like to thank all the OC1, OC2, Surfskiers & Paddleboarders for helping make this an incredible day. I would also like to thank the race sponsors, Chuck Gemeiner Cabinets - for supplying all the wood for the awards and cutting them to size, Chipotle - for the amazing food, Promax - for the energy bars, Stubble Buster - for the rash-free shaving and Shick - for the Quattro Razors.

Big Mahalos to:
Cheance for another great Socal Winter Race Series
The surf gods that supplied such great conditions for the fastest ever times for this race
Adam Mermel & Angela Gaines for all your work to make the race go off without any problems
The volunteers from Marina Del Rey Canoe Club for helping out throughout the day
Don, AL, & Art (video & photos) for putting up with the wet conditions on the escort boats - hope that your equipment didn't get too wet
Buff, Rich, Dwayne, Bob & Scott for the use of your safety boats

This was the first year that the paddleboarders have been invited to participate in this event. It was a pleasure to have you, and thank you for all the great emails. Please let us know if any of you have feedback to help make next year more successful. We will be working on making a longer course. Hope to see you all next year.
