PPG wow

[headmount]

Just watched the tech race and the final results of the PPG.  Both womens and mens were very exciting and I gotta say Dave Kalama did an unreal job of commentating.  Cosell for boxing, Chris Berman for football and in this young sport of SUP, Dave is emerging as the best color guy for making this event very fun to watch for a spectator like me. 

Also loved that top three tech result were from Hawaii.

Yep. The men's and women's surf races were THE most exciting two races with the BEST coverage in the history of our sport so far IMO. Fantastic!

Kalama is really great to listen to. And thank heavens we have Chris Parker on hand to pronounce the paddlers names correctly because that other guy has real problems with any name that isn't typical American - it's actually quite funny listening to him mangle them.

I was there Saturday. It was cool to see so much SUP talent in one place! Here is a pic of the start of the Pro mens long distance race.........................

There was a great spectator turnout, and of course all the major SUP manufacturers were there.

It was cool to see the camaraderie between the athletes

The highlight of my day was meeting Kai Lenny

That photo of the men's pro long distance race was great. Lots of contestants.
