Pictures from the Catalina Classic 2010

A little late, but none the less still amazing pictures taken by the rising paddling star Jack Bark. He snapped some great photos of the paddling field including those of Vertra's own Brian Rocheleau and Eric Abbott. Rocheleau paddled to an impressive 2nd place finish in this year's Catalina Classic. Abbott after his win at the 2010 Molokai World Championships, took 5th place at the Classic. The crossing is known for being an extremely tough event, and this year proved to be no different with slight head wind and tough currents. Enjoy some of the pictures taken by Jack Bark.

Vertra Sunscreen Dominates Battle of the Paddle- California

Dana Point, California (October 3, 2010) Vertra Sunscreen’s paddlesports team dominates at the 2010 Gerry Lopez Battle of the Paddle event at Doheny Beach, California.  Amongst the world’s best standup paddlers, Vertra’s athletes shined above the rest in both the elite surf and distance paddling races.

Vertra Sunscreen athlete Danny Ching, continued in his normal fashion of being nothing less than perfect at these events. Not only did Ching champion both the surf race and distance races at the BOP event in Hawaii earlier this year, he as well took the crown in both events this past weekend. “It’s a great event,” commented Ching. “I train and race hard, I was fortunate this weekend to come up on top.”

Vertra’s other athletes performed top notch as well.  The Australian Travis Grant finished in 4^th in the elite surf race. “Tough and Spectacular,” commented Grant after the event. Travis battled with three other athletes for the entire race, trading leads and navigating the waist to chest high waves. The fifteen year-old Matt Becker edged his way into a 9^th place in the surf race. “I am proud of the way I paddled this weekend,” mentioned Becker. “With so many top athletes present, it is a dog fight from start to finish.”

Both Ching and Grant will be traveling back to the Hawaiian Islands this coming weekend to compete in the 2010 Molokai Hoe outrigger canoe race. Danny will be racing with Team Primo, an elite mix of paddlers. Grant has organized a team comprised of all Australians.

Vertra Sunscreen’s Ryan and Patrick Dolan head to the Pan American Championships

Honolulu, Hawaii (October 5, 2010) Vertra Sunscreen’s Ryan and Patrick Dolan, brothers from Kailua, are heading to Mexico City for the 2010 Pan American Championships for Canoe and Kayak.  The races begin October 7^th in Mexico City. 

Consistent with all major international events sanctioned by the ICF (International Canoe Federation) these Pan American Championships are of the upmost importance to the USA Canoe/ Kayak National Team. “It is crucial that we place top 5 in the respective events that we enter” says Ryan.  This is one of the first steps to qualifying for the 2012 Olympic Games. The Dolans brothers must place top 5 at this event.  If they fail to do so, they will not be eligible to compete at the 2^nd chance Olympic qualifier in 2011.

At the 2011 ICF World Championships, athletes will receive an automatic birth into the 2012 Olympic Games if they place top 10 in any individual event and top 6 in a teamed event. Teams consist of 2 or 4 athletes in a single boat.   Those athletes who do not qualify for the 2012 Olympic Games at the 2011 ICF World Championships, will be eligible to compete at the “2^nd chance qualifier” if they placed top 5 at this years Pan American Games. 

Ryan Dolan will be competing in the Following Events:

• 
  
  
  ·      K1 500 Meters
• 
  
  
  ·      K1 200 Meters
• 
  
  
  ·      K2 200 Meters

Patrick Dolan will be competing in the following events:

• 
  
  
  ·      K2 1000 Meters
• 
  
  
  ·    K4 1000 Meters

We are both excited to be racing internationally again,” commented Pat. Earlier this season, the Dolans competed together. At this event however, Ryan will be racing in a single boat, while Pat teams up with fellow National Team athlete Morgan House of Georgia.  “This will be the first time I race an international event in the K1 500 Meters” commented Ryan, “it’ll be competitive, but I am looking forward to the challenge.”
