For Immediate Release: RVLT Surf & Paddle postpones all 2019 Pro Am Events till further notice

 

May 6, 2019 - San Diego, CA - Attention all RVLT athletes, industry professionals and media outlets. After much thought and consideration Brian and Leslie Terhorst have decided that their main focus for 2019 must remain on their newest business venture MESO Healthy TRUE Full Spectrum CBD Products, and until further notice, the entire 2019 seasons of the Revolt Summer Surf Series - Pier II Pier - Pro Am and the Sunday X3 Paddle Race Series have been postponed. 


For the past 12 years the husband and wife team have dedicated themselves to the development of their unique Pro Am Surf Series - and 5 years ago started up one of the top paddle race series on the West Coast - the Sunday X3 Paddle Race Series. 
59 events, thousands of stories and a million smiles later, the couple have shifted their focus to MESO Healthy, and helping run the thriving CBD business they helped start up in 2018 with a group of friends and investors. 
Leslie states, "RVLT Surf and Paddle Events have been unbelievably rewarding and satisfying for the two of us over the years. Both of us will greatly miss the hundreds of amazing athletes that compete in both series, many returning year after year to support the events. It is always an emotional reunion seeing these young people show up at the first event of each season, usually with an additional inch or three in height, compared to the summer before. Our desire has always been to provide a fair and safe platform for athletes to compete and advance in the sport of their choice.
Brian adds, "Our sponsors over the years have been essential to the success of the events. Some more than others... Bob at Westcoast Paddlesports has been with us since the very beginning... Roger at Kicker Audio has never let us down, Zach at Mission Bay Sportcenter helped keep everyone safe, the Red Bull crew always brought it, and of course, Mark at Rock and Roll San Diego always supplied us with the best sound system on the sand! Kings Paddle sports, Victory Kore Dry, Liquid Foundation, Gordon & Smith, Board & Brew Specialty Sandwiches, Waidroka Bay Resort FIJI... the list goes on and on. Thank you to all that helped support our events over the past 12 seasons. Staffers, volunteers, parents, photographers, videographers, security... you know who you are. Thank you for everything, we hope to see you again soon!" 
MESO Healthy has been active in and around San Diego and southern California since the beginning of the year with promotions at the Grammys, The Oscars, Coachella and most recently, Title Sponsor of the 2019 Earth Fair Celebration at Balboa Park.

The reunion of a paddler to their stolen canoe - a feel good story!

On October 9th, a fellow paddler posted about one of the biggest bummers we could encounter. Cathy was visiting San Diego from Lake Havasu, and had left her canoe strapped to her roof. It was in a cover. It was cable locked. And it still managed to attract the attention of an evil thief who managed to cut it free and steal it. Imagine the sinking feeling when you walk to your car and see your beloved craft no longer there. A feeling of bewilderment and question must flood you: "Did I not have the canoe there?" "Is this even my car?" "Maybe a friend is playing a trick on me?"

But alas, the worst case scenario, was the actual scene. Someone stole it.

2018 Quarter 2 Paddler Pledge Recipient - Marine Mammal Center

Marine Mammal Center 5% Paddle PledgeThank you to Qiana Wylie of the Marine Mammal Center for taking the time to speak with us at Cali paddler and educating us on this amazing organization and the great work they do. We are excited to partner with them as the newest recipient of Cali Paddler's 5% Paddle Pledge.  As paddlers, we encounter marine life daily. I see plenty of sea lions and harbor seals while I'm out on the water. I have also seen my fair share of these animals tangled in plastic trash or fishing line. With the work of the Marine Mammal Center we can get these animals rescued, rehabilitated and back out in the wild. - Josh CP Director Non-Profit Relations
