Watch: EMILY by Look or Don't Productions

Congratulations to Emily Bark on her incredible win at the Catalina Classic — and for doing it again! Paddling 32 miles across open ocean is a brutal test of endurance and mental grit, and to repeat as champion speaks to the kind of dedication and heart she brings to the sport. Beyond the results, though, we'd love for you to check out the short video documenting Emily as a person — her journey, her mindset, and her reflections on what this race really means to her. It's a great look at the person behind the paddle, not just the athlete on the podium. Give it a watch and join us in celebrating her win!
