Aloha!

Finn and I are two Norcal junior paddlers and will be racing the Wild Buffalo Relay in April from Catalina Island to Newport Beach. This race is already expensive without the additional costs of travel from the Bay Area and the hindrance of being full-time high school students.

Our total cost, including our escort boat, accommodations, food, and transport, comes out to $2300. Our goal is to cover that cost so that we can show the paddling world what the Bay Area’s got!

Additionally, we aim to support Save the Bay, a nonprofit in the Bay Area that is dedicated to the conservation and protection of the San Francisco Bay because we believe this amazing place we get the opportunity to train in must be preserved for the wellbeing of the ecosystem and our communities that rely on it. We hope that we can use this event to raise $500 for them and help our community!

Let’s support the future of paddling and Save the Bay!
