In brief: Ryan Helm has taken out the 3rd annual “Coconut Cup” on the Caribbean island of St. Croix, edging out Josh Riccio and a bunch of adventurous paddlers who clearly enjoyed a weekend that was more of a paradisaical holiday with a race on the side.

In what can only be described as a “Destination Race,” the Coconut Cup included both a downwinder and a course race, with Floridian-turned-Sayulita-local Ryan making it a clean sweep of the weekend.

Garrett Fletcher picked up a couple of thirds, while Quintin Chiapperino and Connor Bonham traded places to round out the top five in each race. Morgan Hoesterey dominated the women’s events.
