Kalamalka Classic SUP Festival

Family matters. Congrats to Yannick and Alexia Morgans on bringing home both Junior crowns. Thanks to Red for the Change robes for the champs - well received.

Scenes from the 2022 Kal Classic. Thanks to Wayne Emde and KOB for these ones. More coming shortly from Carolyn Forbes.

The folks at the Kelowna Paddle Centre are still celebrating their head coach’s big win! Congrats to Tamlyn Böhm on capturing her 2nd Queen of Kalamalka title. (The 1st in 2017). Not the easiest of conditions to say the least.

12 years in the making. North Vancouver’s Mike Darbyshire dug deep and pulled out a huge win in both the Crossing and Scramble to capture the his first King’s title.

Huge shout out to Edge Apparel in Vernon for turning our art into print. Almost 150 shirts went out to participants, volunteers, sponsors and staff.

Couple of quick photos until we get our main batch of shots...

Inflatable All round class on their way in calm water... little did they know what awaited them as they entered the channel.

Joe Wright pokes his nose out from under the bridge with wind and waves in view.

In 2019, we had a beautiful downwind run across Kalamalka... breaking all kinds of records...

In 2022, the winds came from the other direction and we broke some new, undesirable records....

Here are your heroes -
