2025
Doug is gearing up for an exciting year, competing in both the WA360 and Seventy48 races. To take on these challenges, he upgraded to a Stellar S18 Expedition G2, a high-performance kayak built for endurance.
The Seventy48 is a 70-mile race from Tacoma, WA, to Port Townsend, WA, with a strict 48-hour time limit. It’s a test of speed, strategy, and stamina. Check out the full list of teams competing in the 2025 Seventy48 to learn more about the participants.
The WA360 is a grueling 360(ish)-mile loop around the Puget Sound. Starting and ending in Port Townsend, the course winds south to Olympia, then heads north past Goat Island and Bellingham, reaching Point Roberts near the Canadian border before returning through the San Juan Islands to the finish line.

2024
Inspired by Doug’s success in the 2023 Seventy48, Doug’s wife, Mary, decided to join him for the 2024 race. To prepare for this adventure, they invested in a Delta Traverse 17.5T, a tandem kayak designed for teamwork and performance. Mary had never competed in a long endurance race before, but she rose to the challenge with determination and enthusiasm. Not only did she help propel the kayak forward, but she also took charge of organizing, logistics, and curating the perfect music playlist to keep spirits high. It was an incredible journey that showcased our ability to work seamlessly as a team, overcoming the difficulties of such a demanding race together.
