This past Saturday’s Paddleboard Race & Ocean Festival packed a ton into one event. The morning began with a series of swimming and foot races for both children and adult competitors. Then, paddleboard races were held, while on the adjacent pier, a hula performance was held onstage. Throughout the rest of the morning was AAU volleyball play, hybrid run-swim-run races and more. Then, by the afternoon, awards were handed out to winners in between performances by Cody Lovaas and pioneering surf guitarist Dick Dale.
A portion of the proceeds benefitted Santa Monica’s Bay Foundation. The competition and beach activities brought together hundreds of locals and visitors alike, to partake in the full day of fun by the ocean.
