Women On Waves: W.O.W.!!!

Being a female surf ski racer can, at times, be lonely. Surf Ski racing is a male dominated sport. So, two accomplished female racers from Seattle; Traci Cole and Tracy Landboe, came up with the idea for W.O.W. I happily jumped on board, as did Laura Jackson, a racer from Seattle.

Women On Waves was created to give women the opportunity to learn more about the sport of surf ski racing in a fun, noncompetitive environment. Our inaugural event will be a demo day with clinics and a group paddle here in Bellingham, WA. There will be surf skis and kayaks to demo; clinics on the forward stroke, nutrition and safety; a raffle with cool race schwag; a group paddle and lots of cool women to hang out with!

Date: Saturday, November 11, 2006 (Rain or Shine)
Time: Noon-4pm Location: Bloedel Donovan Park, Bellingham WA
Dinner: Dinner to follow at Boundary Bay in Bellingham
Cost: This is a free event, (except for dinner at Boundary Bay)

Sponsored by: Island Outfitters, Kokatat, Huki, Epic and Futura

About Brandon and Heather

Nelson

Brandon and Heather Nelson are world class ultra-marathon distance kayakers and adventurers. While Brandon shares his passion for adventure as a motivational speaker, Heather is a kayak instructor. Both are published writers and photographers. To date, their resume includes overall wins in the 300+ mile WaterTribe Lake Michigan Challenge and in the 460-mile Yukon River Quest, a 4300-mile expedition which took them from Canada to Cabo San Lucas by mountain bike and sea kayak, and a 71-day circumnavigation of Lake Baikal in Siberia. In early May of this year, the pair organized "Project KayakForCare!" to raise money for non-profit hospice care while attempting to break the 24-hour flatwater distance record. With Heather leading the event organization, Brandon paddled 146 miles in 24 hours on Lake Whatcom, WA, and raised over $14,000 for Whatcom Hospice Foundation.
