If you know Red and have had the privilege to paddle with him, you know he leaves it all on the water. Whether coaching a 6-man outrigger canoe, paddling his OC1, exploring on his SUP, or racing and coaching a dragon boat, Red knows the stoke of paddling. While sporting a very accomplished résumé (racing the Catalina Crossing in both directions on the same weekend, Pailolo Challenge, Queen Liliʻuokalani, and Molokai Hoe, sitting every seat during a 9-man race, and racing the socal winter series on his OC1) his humble and approachable attitude conceal his hard-work approach to be the best paddler he can be. Chances are you heard Red cheering for other paddlers as they finished, saw him carrying other people's canoes, and witnessed him picking up trash on the beach. Red is stoked to be paddling any craft and is a shining example of what it is to be a Cali Paddler. Just be careful after a race while he is eating...he might mistake your hand for a chicken strip and bite it right off.
