In an effort to chronicle my SUP racing for the 2010 season. I have decided to post all of my progress on this blog. Follow me on this journey of training and racing in SoCal in hopes of continued improvement and ultimately top finishes in the biggest events.
A little about me, I am 45 years old (46 in March). I have been a Professional Body Boarder, Racquetball Teaching Pro, Competitive Rock Climber/Boulderer and now competitive SUP racer and surfer. I am married with two kids, Luc 8.75 yrs and Enzo 7.75 yrs, yes two kids in one year.
I have a core crew I paddle with on a regular basis, Wally Emory II, Mike "Metro" Dido, Ernie "EJ" Johnson , Byron "the Horse" Kurt , Brandi Baksic and occasionally Pete Stirling and Rob Rojas. I will join Pete and Rob when I can get my arse out of bed at 4:30 am. I have yet to do that this winter, Pete and Rob I will see you in the spring, too cold at 5am.
I currently train by paddling three days a week (usually early in the morning) and workout at my new sponsor the Sports Performance Institute (SPI) in Laguna Beach, California. The folks at SPI have adopted me and are beginning to develop a balance focused paddle specific workout for when I train off the water. I do believe that I cannot achieve my goals paddling alone and with my new angel "JT" at SPI pushing me, I will get to the next level.
I am currently affiliated and help promote the following companies: Hobie SUP, Hobie Polarized, Sports Performance Institute, XS Energy Drinks, Waterman's Applied Science, Future Fins, Oxygen 4 Energy and Ember Clothing. Please visit them all, they are the best in class.
Wish me luck,
