Weather Smiles Upon First San Rafael Winter Paddle Race
We are going to let you in on a little secret. The best weather for paddling is in the winter! Race number one in our winter paddle race series was unimpeachable evidence of just that.
While the day dawned with a blanket of ominous gray fog hovering over the glass-flat racecourse we knew the power of the sun’s rays would soon set us up with near ideal conditions. A temperate race course was perfectly balanced with 70-degree air temps and nary a zephyr for our apres race party. (below the short course readies to get off the starting line.
Diversity and Inclusion is a hallmark of our family fun race scene. With Outrigger Canoes, Surfski’s, Kayaks, Stand up paddleboards, K1’s, and even a SUPSquatch it was a melting pot of paddle action.
The day started with racers choosing to tackle either the 2-mile short course or the 6-mile long course. At all of our race’s kids 16 and under paddle for free on our short course and it was a gaggle of River Town Racers making their racing debut. Check out the River Town Racers on facebook and get your kid in the program. Pictured below the Girls Podium.
