It was one year ago this month that Naish team rider, Karen Wrenn, took on the challenge of crossing the seven channels of California's Channel Islands - all on her Glide 17'0". The epic paddle, over five consecutive days and 150 nautical miles, made Karen the first stand up paddler to cross all seven channels (let alone the first female to brave crossing the sharky waters of SoCal's Santa Barbara Channel on an SUP).

Team Naish (including defending World Champion Kai Lenny, big wave legend Chuck Patterson, young Frenchman Benoit Carpentier, Oahu local Noa Ginella and Maui's Kody Kerbox) put on an incredible performance this past week at the 3rd Annual Sunset Beach Pro on Oahu's North Shore. The first stop on the 2012 Stand Up World Tour was treated to some epic waves where the world's best riders stepped up to do battle.
