[RESULTS] Lake Max Challenge


Slater Trout put on a clinic (literally and metaphorically) at the Lake Max Challenge in Culver, Indiana on the weekend. The young Maui charger led the locals through a technique session before putting in a solid performance in the Elite 7 mile race as well.

In all fairness Michigan’s Matt Johnson did actually take line honours on his 14 footer, though Slater was only half a minute behind on his 12’6″ board.

In the 3.5 mile fun race, Susan Mikesell was the fastest of the ladies, while Maurice Anthon beat home all the men (on a rec board, no less).

Indiana isn’t exactly the first place that springs to mind when you think about SUP, so it’s awesome to see Stand Up Paddle racing growing in areas well outside its traditional homes of California and Hawaii.

Slater Trout off to a flying start
