SAM LUCAS!!!!!

Surfing and racing friends Sam (left) Andy (Right)

And Bev Time HAHA..

3rd Annual West Cliff Challenge

My first 6.5 mile open ocean race. Came in last, but was well worth the experience. I met a lot of really great watermen and they were all super cool to hang out with after the event. I’m definitely doing any events that they have in the future. Hopefully next time I’ll trim time off of my last place result next time. That’s the goal anyway! Gotta get a bigger board and a bigger paddle for these long distance events!

Core Team Rider Sam Lucas hits a STAND UP PADDLE RACE

I get this e-mail from Sam the other day. I had to share LOL

Sam:

Hey Kyla,
So....I did this Naish race thing in San Francisco because there was no waves this weekend up here. Since this was my first "real" race. I was thinking that I was going to maybe finish in the middle. NOT! I came in second to last! Ahead of my cousin! Ha ha ha! That's what I get for thinking I would do better.

They had us go upwind and against the current towards the golden gate bridge in the beginning. I was dying!! I'm built for surfing and not racing I guess. Check it out! There's a couple of Liquid Militia money shots!
