Thanks to everyone that came out to the Big Scary Push Longboard Race! We had an awesome time seeing some crazy costumes and solid boarding. The race was a solid turnout with over 80 registered racers and over 100 folks in the area. Congrats to ‘the ref’ and ‘wonder woman (man)’ for first and second place in the 8.8 mile trek. Also, congrats to Windward’s own, Andrew Lynch for taking 2nd place in the hippy jump completing a 4.5 foot leap. Stay tuned for more push races from the folks over at the Big Scary Push, we’ll be back representing again come spring/summer 2013. Check out some choice photos from the event below:
