Chris Barlow, coach of the San Diego Canoe and Kayak Team, grits and grins as he thrusts his surfski through the water. Four hundred kayakers took to the water Saturday, Jan. 31 to race across Mission Bay and out on to the open ocean for the 13th annual Hanohano Challenge. Patrick Dolan, 20, paddled in first at 1:03 hours on the nine-mile, open ocean course. For more results, visit www.hanohano.org. PAUL HANSEN | THE?BEACON
