Green Race 2009 Wrap-up

UPDATED - Super LVM Video covering the Green Race, with Andrew Holcombe's interview at the end. Check it out.

Hot on the heels of his win at the Lord of the Fork race, Andrew Holcombe pulled another first place finish at the legendary Green River Narrows race this past weekend.

Andrew won the overall “Ironman” title, by throwing down the fastest runs in both the longboat and short boat kayak divisions. He paddled the Dagger Green Boat and the Dagger Nomad 8.5, respectively. Andrew is closing out the 2009 season with authority, yet never loses his humility and pure enthusiasm for paddling.

“All around, it was the best Green Race ever!” Andrew summarized, characteristically succinct and gracious.

Dagger also congratulates fellow Dagger athletes: Chris Gragtmans (fourth in longboat K1, fourth in short boat K1) and Corey Volt (14th in longboat K1). Bryan Kirk (19th in longboat K1) and Jakub Nemec (32nd in longboat K1, sixth in short boat K1) represented for our sister brand, Wave Sport. Dagger gives a special shout to Dagger lead designer, Mark “Snowy” Robertson who competed in his first ever Green River Narrows Race. You each make us proud.
