Kings and Queens of Kalamalka – The legends
Lina Augaitis, Vancouver (2010, 2011, 2013, 2014, 2016, 2019)
Known for her explosive power, Lina stormed onto the SUP scene in 2010 and showed up at the event with boards and bikes in tow. She went on to dominate the field to become the first ever Queen of Kalamalka – since then, she’s won the title two more times and was recently crowned World Champion.

Norm Hann, Squamish (2011, 2012)
Norm capped off a huge win at the 2012 Classic edging out Dan Gavere of the US in an intense battle during the Kalamalka Crossing. The two of them dominated the field and Norm was able to take the narrow win in an emotionally charged day of racing. Norm lost the title in 2013 but remains a huge part of the success of the Kal Classic.

Shannon Bell, Vancouver (2012, 2015)
2012 was a huge year for Shannon Bell – After winning the Queen of Kalamalka, she went on to win the first ever BC SUP CUP Series. Shannon won the title again in 2015 and hopes to return in 2018 with a third title in mind.

Jason Bennett, Vancouver (2015, 2017)
Jason’s first title came in 2015 where he captured both the Kalamalka Crossing (1:43:56.6) and Wikiholo Sprints. He finished runner-up in 2016 and then returned to form in 2017 regaining the title with a time of 1:43:53.1. He is set to defend his crown in 2019.

Ken Larsen, Chilliwack (2014)
One of the more skilled watermen in Canada, Ken captured the overall crown in 2014. He has quietly built a staggering resume of skills and you can find him on the river, racing, surfing and hanging with the Fraser Valley Rippers. He’s back this year looking to retain his title.

Stuart Robinson, Comox (2013)
2013 was Stuart’s year winning both the King of Kalamalka and the first ever Canadian Championships. He managed to stay ahead of Norm Hann of Squamish who was attempting to win his 3rd title in row.
______________________________________________________________
Tamlyn Bohm, Kelowna (2017)
With a long list of paddling achievements, Kelowna Paddle Centre’s head coach captured the title in 2o17. With her new sponsors, she is pushing hard to repeat in 2019 but will have some stiff competition from former Queens and challengers.
_______________________________________________________________
Adam Gerbrecht, North Vancouver (2019)
The youngest athlete to win the coveted King of Kalamalka title. His talented brother won the Junior division 2016. Both spend hours of time on the water in Deep Cove and around the Lower Mainland and are always a threat.
_______________________________________________________________
Beau Whitehead, Bellingham, WA (2010)
Beau was one of only a few people who had ever seen, nevermind raced an actual racing displacement race board when the first Classic ran in 2010. He battled hard against Norm Hann and took the crown in year one.
_______________________________________________________________
Michael Booth, Australia (2016)
A last minute addition to the race in 2016, Michael added some international flavour to the mix. With his eyes set on smashing the current fastest time of 1:42:06 set by Stuart Robinson, Michael charged ahead of the pack early. But a nasty 15km headwind during the first half of the race dashed his hopes of breaking the record.
