Team Infinity has been out and about racing and competing the last couple months.

Here is an update of results from Sept/Oct 2009

Tahitian Patrice Chanzy finished 1st Place in the Tahiti Down Wind stock race. The race was full of some crazy winds and open ocean swells. When it was all said and done, Patrice finished ahead of the pack on his 12'6" Steve Boehne hand shaped Ocean Racer.

Patrice also took 1st Place honors at the Annual Taapuna Masters SUP surf competiton. The contest was held in contestable head high Taapuna. Patrice rode his 9' Carver model which helped him drop in with on the hallow lefts and lay down some nice turns in the windy conditions.

The Battle of the Paddle race came to town last month and was a HUGE success. Thousands of paddle enthusiasts came from far and near to check out the action, compete, and enjoy the 2nd annual festivities! Infinity was there in full force showing off the latest SUP designs at our booth and having fun competing and hanging out with all of our friends. Also, Steve has been credited for shaping/designing the worlds first "tandem" SUP raceboard. Steve and Barrie broke new ground as the first tandem SUP race team ever to compete in a race.
