Santa Cruz Paddlefest

Fantastic F-One SUP Team results at the Santa Cruz Paddlefest this past weekend for the 33rd Annual event held at Steamer Lane and Cowell Beach locations. F-One had Poenaiki Raioha all the way from Tahiti and Josh Riccio from Hawaii participating in the men’s 10K Long Race Course along with the Men’s Pro SUP Surf Categories.
We are excited for another Santa Cruz Paddlefest hosted at the iconic Steamer Lane. F-One International team members Josh Riccio and Poenaiki Raioha accompanied by USA teammates will attend this year’s event on March 28-31.
