Today begins the Pacific Paddle Games in Doheny State Beach, Dana Point, CA. This is considered by many as one of the biggest paddle races for our sport. With a run time of 3 days consisting of distant races and multi-heat technical races with Pro, Open, Junior, and Prone divisions, it is a fun-filled weekend of excitement and paddle stoke! On land there are demos, clinics, and a plenty of new paddling gear to be tried out!
