Maui’s Kai Lenny finished second in both the sprint slalom and distance standup paddleboard races at last weekend’s North Shore Paddle Challenge to win the overall title at Turtle Bay.
Zane Schweitzer won Saturday’s sprint slalom race, pulling away from Lenny after the first lap.
Andrew Logreco, who missed Saturday’s race due to his lifeguard duties, dominated Sunday’s 12-mile run from Turtle Bay to Haleiwa. He finished in 1 hour, 41 minutes and 15.2 seconds in the 12-6 SUP division, nearly 6 minutes ahead of Lenny.
Jerry Bess was the first to finish the distance course in the open SUP class in 1:39:48.2. In the SUP 14-foot class, Robert Teritehau won his division in 1:49:12.6; Kai Hai led the prone stock paddleboard finishers in 1:52.41; and Bert Charleton the prone open division in 1:59:45.3.
Rachel Bruntsch and Mariko Strickland tied for the overall women’s title, with Strickland winning the sprint slalom and Bruntsch the distance race. Fourteen-year-old Mo Freitas earned the overall youth award, finishing seventh in the sprint slalom and fourth in the distance race.
Finishing second in the overall standings was Kaeo Abby with Noa Ginnela third.
The format used last weekend now becomes the standard for the Stand Up World Series. The World Series has 17 qualifying events in 14 countries, culminating with the finale next October at Turtle Bay.
The series kicks off next month in Fiji at the Namotu World Paddle Challenge.
