The small boat season is upon us. Na Leo paddlers Vince San Nicolas (also our men’s coach) and Shauna Hecker took their race chops 31 miles down the Chattanooga River in Tennessee. Vince paddled a prone stock; Shauna an OC1 into some nasty headwinds and chop, particularly in the last 10 miles. Vince came home with a 1st place (the moon pies got eaten!). Congratulations you two. That takes heart!

Next up, Another Dam Race in Parker, AZ, and the SoCal winter series . Bring home those medals, AZ paddlers!
