Team YOLO Men & Team YOLO Women Win Second Race in YOLO Race Series!!
Next Race Slated for Thursday, August 14th on Western Lake (WaterColor BoatHouse Access)
Although the location changed the day before due to impending surf conditions in the Gulf of Mexico, the second race in the YOLO Board Stand-Up Paddle Series went off without a hitch on Thursday, July 31, 2008, at 6 pm on Oyster Lake with Team YOLO Men and Team YOLO Women paddling their way into first place. Previous first place winners Aqua Surf Shop came in second followed closely by Team RYNO in third. A total of eight men's teams and five women's teams competed along with the newly formed Team Jr. Lifeguards.
While Thursday’s forecast called for scattered thunderstorms and a 60%chance of rain, by race time the skies had parted and spectators enjoyed the comfort of a cool yet strong headwind which proved to be a fun challenge for the paddlers in the water. By mid-race many spectators were seen parking theirs cars along Hwy 30A to stop and enjoy the festivities.
