The Santa Monica Pier Paddleboard Race & Ocean Festival held on June 10-11th was a full on waterman’s adventure. Both distance and technical sup races, prone divisions and lifeguarding competitions all took place in the wind & chop on the ocean where paddlers, swimmers, and row boats had to navigate a smack down shore break in order to complete the course. A feel good event and one that left everyone smiling, here is 15-year old Hobie team rider Lexi Alston’s take on the event.
