Feb 1 - Chuckanut Classic, PNW-ORCA #2 - Bellingham, Washington

We had an excellent day up in Bellingham. The weather was just beautiful for us. We caught some sunshine and had some nice surf on the downwind portion of the course...

The course was about 7 miles, and fast on the second half. Made for some good racing. We had a total of 19 paddlers enter and it was good to see some of our Canadian friends. Peter Newton did a great job of organizing the race. It was a good course, nice park, plenty of food, and and he had some great raffle items ? a couple highlights - Kialoa donated one of there new fancy carbon fiber paddles and we had a $500 gift certificate toward the new purchase of a Kaku.
