Deception Pass Dash

I went and watched this grueling 6 mi paddle race today through Deception Pass. Basically you have to sprint the first few miles to beat the tide, otherwise you're fighting the current through the Pass and it's pretty much hopeless. I wasn't up for it this year but it was fun to watch all the different boats (surf kayaks, outrigger canoes, etc) and I'd love to do it next year..
i think santa was a bit tired.

I was that Santa, and yes, I was very tired.

Great day on the water in some very challenging conditions.
Thanks for the pics.

I was one of the racers and it was incredibly tough this year. Great time though. I love your photos of the event.
