"Pre- race ritual is to take a couple of deep breaths and acknowledge how lucky I am that I get to paddle, and post-race ritual is always lots of food".

Grace is a force on both a 10'6 spint board and on a 12' stock, consistently claiming titles at the DeSatnick Race and in lifeguard competitions all over the East Coast. She also keeps us pretty humble with her cold water paddles through the off season.

Lachlan Lansdown - if you've followed the pointy end of prone paddling over the last decade, you know all about his achievements. He has...

3x Catalina Finisher, Newport Lifeguard, and all around good guy- we're not sure if we've ever seen Noah Mayne without a smile on his face.

Throwing up in a hospital bed on Saturday and winning Molokai on Sunday- if anyone could pull it off, it's probably Lachie Lansdown....
