Another Dam Race

Paddling in the desert? Well, yes! There was a little bit of Hawaii in Arizona as 195 paddlers, OC's, surfski, paddle board, and SUP, competed in Another Dam Race on November 5th. The 10.5-mile down river race on the Colorado River was led by San Diego OC Club's men's team, setting the course record with 1:22:55. Top individual was surfski paddler Brian Kummer, 3rd overall at 1:26:34. Any real paddler knows that after racing you've got to have a plate lunch; some island recipes, a hard working cooking crew, and the most onolicious grinds for 3,500 miles. Classic Arizona weather guaranteed that all had a great time. Mark your calendars, next year's race is November 3, 2012. Check us out at AnotherDamRace.com.
