Chuck Patterson Claims 2010 Surftech SUP Shootout
March 29, 2010 (Santa Cruz, CA) – Chuck Patterson (Dana Point, CA), won the 2nd Annual Surftech SUP Shootout at the Lane over event rookie Zane Schweitzer (Lahaina, HI), Michael Roberts (Pacific Grove, CA) and pro kiteboarder Peter Trow (Central Coast, CA) to take out his second Surftech Shootout victory in as many years.
Patterson has emerged as one of stand up paddling's premier over-all athletes alongside Australia's Jamie Mitchell, Hawaii's Slater Trout and a host of other elite paddlers. Chuck's proven his athleticism by winning prestigious races such as the 2008 Rainbow Sandals Battle of the Paddle, he's one of the leading stand up paddle big wave riders (Chuck was the first paddler to charge the Cortez Bank this winter) and he showed all who were at Steamer Lane on Santa Cruz's notorious Westside this weekend, that he is one of the world's best in waves of any size.
