Summary of the race:
This past Saturday marked the 6th edition of the annual Adler Paddler taking place in Long Beach, California. With 150+ paddlers out for the event, 65 degree weather lead to a beautiful morning for racing. The Adler race is a free race in honor of Steven Adler with all profit going towards the John Ritter Fund, so they can continue to help with research, awareness, and support for families dealing with aortic disease.
Although this race didn't attract any of the top local professional paddlers, it did bring out a handful of up and coming paddlers, as well as some of the local star groms, including Paddle Academy stand-outs Max Fleming, Tyler Bashor, Trevor Bashor and Erika Benitez. This event always has great backing, including some big name sponsors such as Hurley, Futures and Quickblade.
The racing was comprised of a short and long course.
