Race to Alaska on a Stand Up Paddleboard

Posted June 27, 2017 at 6:17 pm by

Race 750 miles from Port Townsend to Alaska? That’s pretty cool.

With human-powered or wind-powered craft and no support… OK that’s wow.

OK, now do it on a Stand Up Paddleboard (SUP)… that’s really Wow.

Oh and how about, cross the finish line before some of the sailboats and other kayakers??? That is just crazy-WOW!

Check out this story about Orcas Islander Karl Kruger who just did exactly that. He crossed the finish line in Ketchikan yesterday, seriously raising the bar for what humans are capable of. Very impressive.
