COMPETITION HEATS UP AFTER 6 RACES IN THE EPIC KAYAKS JUNIOR WINTER RACE SERIES

An EPIC KAYAKS V10L Surfski is up for grabs and after 6 races of the Southern California Winter Race Series the competition is really heating up with early front runner Bayley Olds just managing to hold onto his lead with 264 total points. Bayley has had some great performances with Short Course age group wins at La Jolla and Santa Barbara where he also finished in the top ten overall.  

Close on his heels and only one point behind Bayley (with 263 points) is a hard charging Michael Lowe. Michael, after coming a close second to USA Junior National Team member Garen Doyle in the first few races, has had some great finishes in Santa Barbara, Newport and Hano Hano races to win the 19 and under age group in the Long Course.

The first race of the series in November 2011 had great surf conditions at the start of the La Jolla Shores Race, but all the kids made it out through the breakers and back to ride the waves into the beach. The following week it was up the coast to Oceanside and despite the cold offshore breeze a large field of 19 and under paddlers headed out through the harbor and back. The Santa Barbara, Tecolote, Hano Hano, and Newport Races took place in 

outstanding California sunshine…  
This year’s Ocean races saw awesome performances by all SDCKT paddlers at every age group. Please extend a big THANK YOU to EPIC KAYAKS http://www.epickayaks.com for their support of the SOCAL Winter Race Series Junior Races. For full results: http://www.eteamz.com/SoCalOceanRacingor for just the junior points go tohttp://www.sdckt.netor email: info@kayakfast.com
