Here’s a good one from the archives…

The 2010 Battle of the Paddle Elite Race at Dana Point became an instant classic; Danny Ching cemented his place as a star of the sport by stealing the crown from defending champ Jamie Mitchell, Candice Appleby continued her winning streak on the women’s side, there were enough waves to ensure plenty of chaos, and the whole thing was caught on tape.

Check out the action below (skip to the 3:30 mark to enjoy the carnage) and keep following SUPracer as we get closer to the 2012 Battle of the Paddle California (78 days and counting!).
