Held on September 24th, the 2011 BoP California Elite Race was one of the most prestigious (and hotly contested) SUP event of all time. The men’s division saw a three way fight between Jamie Mitchell, Danny Ching and Connor Baxter.

Despite Ching defending his 2010 title and Mitchell leading most of the race, in the end it was the kid from Hawaii who stole the line honours.

On the women’s side, Candice Appleby won yet another elite race, while kiwi Annabel Anderson and local Brandi Baksic battled it out for the number two spot.
