This Sunday May 27,2012 the North Shore Lifeguarding Association will be hosting a fundraising race to help raise money for George Ramos. All the proceeds from the race will be donated to George to help him pay for his medical expenses. He is currently undergoing chemo therapy treatment for stage 4 cancer.

Since the late 1980's George has been competing in paddleboard races at an elite level. He has consistently placed near the top in almost every race he competed in. He has paddled in the prestigious Molokai to Oahu race every year since its inception, a record 15 times. His training regimen is legendary. A weekend training run for George would be a paddle from Sunset to Haleiwa back to Sunset and then do the whole run over again approximately 30 miles without taking a break or drinking any water!!

The race will start at Sunset Beach and end at Waimea Bay. The race is open to all paddlers including divisions for SUP, One Man Canoes, traditional prone paddleboards and surfboards.
