Legendary waterman and H2O Audio ambassador Dave Kalama will be at the H2O Audio Surf Monkey event August 8th in Oceanside, California taking up the paddle portion for team H2O Audio.  Kicking butt and taking names in the run portion of the event will be H2O Audio’s CEO and Co-Founder Kristian Rauhala.  The short straw ceremony to name the participant of the swim portion of the race will be held tomorrow in the H2O Audio office.

We here at H2O Audio are proud to announce the first annual H2O Audio Surf Monkey event.  The H2O Audio Surf Monkey is a one day Run, Swim, Paddle event at Oceanside pier in Oceanside California on Sunday August 8th. Athletes from all over the world will participate in a 5 kilometer beach run followed by a 1 mile open water swim topped off with an 8 mile paddleboard race to the finish. All participants will receive a race t-shirt and sponsor goodies, post race refreshments, & entry into a drawing to win all kinds of cool prizes. Participants can choose to do any of the events as a single discipline or enter in the 3 event stage race to compete for the coveted King & Queen Monkey title.

Another successful Oceanside Ironman 70.3 for H2O Audio.  The sun was a no show on Thursday but Friday more than made up for it and thankfully it stayed beautiful all the way through the gun on race day morning.  All the usual suspects were there from last years Ironman Expo except for a disappointing no show from the vitamin energy supplement guy, which was probably a good thing considering we turned orange from an overdose last year.

Congratulations to the winners.  Matthew Reed took first place in the Men’s division with a time of 3:51.50 and Mirinda Carfrae lead the way for the Woman with a time of 4:25:02

As the sweet smell of vile energy drinks and floral scented body lotion permeate the air it could only mean one thing, the annual U.S. Open of Surfing in Huntington Beach approaches. If you attended last year you may have stumbled on my colleague and I huddled beneath the shadow of the grom infested Lost tent. This year we plan on kicking it up a notch. I’m not going to divulge any secrets at this point but you should definitely put our tent on the must see list. Having said that I’d like to offer a slight disclaimer and say if you are disappointed in any way by the activities at our booth it’s Harold’s fault.
