Catalina Classic...

Immediately after the JMT, I spent the night at Tim's house in Santa Barbara and ended up leavin the next morning for Ventura/L.A. area. I got in 2 bodysurfs and ended up spending the night at a friends house/futon as close to the ocean as it gets....on the rocks in Leo Carillo. Next morning, off to the Catalina Classic finish line. A 32 mile paddleboard race from Catalina to Manhattan Beach. Danny (my older brother) decided about 3 months prior that he was going to do this. It's one of the most prestigious paddleboard races in the world. He qualified to get into the race, got a boat lined up, and went. HE GOT 13th!! Out of a field of 83!! Here area few pictures. It was an emotional race and finish for all of us.
