Boardworks would like to congratulate decorated waterman, lifeguard and Boardworks team rider Anthony Vela on another great race finish this weekend. Vela came in 2nd to Danny Ching in a impressive field of athletes in the stock SUP division at the Hanohano on Saturday in San Diego’s beautiful Mission Bay.
With calm winds and 70 degree temperatures, conditions could not have been more perfect for the 15th Annual Hanohano Ocean Challenge. This year the event drew over 480 competitors, including over 30 kids, that raced in OC1, OC2, Surfski, Kayak, Paddleboard and Stand Up Paddle Board divisions. The Hanohano has a long tradition of attracting high level athletes and this year was no exception. In attendance were 12 Olympians, Junior Olympic Kayak Teams from Newport Beach & San Diego, professional lifeguards and professional triathletes, OC1 Paddlers from all over California and the areas top SUP racers. What was unique about this years event was the overwhelming turnout in the SUP divisions. Over 170 SUP racers competed on Saturday, which is a huge jump from the 70 that participated last year and a testament to the growing popularity of this sport.
