Strickland & Ginella Take First Place at 2011 Teva Mountain Games in Vail, Colorado
By
C4 Waterman is stoked to have had such a successful and exciting time at the 2011 Teva Mountain Games in Vail, Colorado. With the combined efforts of 12+ team riders from Hawaii and support staff, everyone actively participated in several weekend events that included the Maui Jim SUP Sprint presented by C4 Waterman and the inaugural SUP Cross event. We also hosted a wild pool party with our fantastic co-sponsors Maui Jim and Korbel California Champagne.
Our newest team rider, Mariko Strickland, swept the women’s division on both Saturday and Sunday taking first place in the SUP Sprint and the SUP Cross events.
Returning champion, Noa Ginella, also excelled at the Teva Mountain Games taking first place in the SUP Cross event on Sunday and third place in the SUP Sprint on Saturday, right behind Charlie MacArthur. MacArthur, better known as C-MAC finished 2nd in the SUP Sprint and 3rd in the SUP Cross event. In 2010, Noa took first place in the inaugural SUP Sprint race.
Also inspiring was the huge influx in interest for river SUP. This year, over 75 participants from around the world competed in the SUP Sprint race, more than double the amount that competed last year. Even several seasoned kayakers took the plunge down Gore Creek on SUP boards.
