KINETIC SCULPTURE RACEThis race originated right in here in Humboldt County and now there are many kinetic races around the world just like it.
The 42-mile race features a variety of sculptures, designed to cross beaches, rivers, sand dunes, land and roads. There are many ways to earn points in this race, including bribing the judges. There are awards for every category you could possibly think of and cheating is encouraged! Talk about free entertainment.
These photos are from day two of the race (the race lasts three). This is where the sculptures must enter Humboldt Bay and actually stay afloat and paddle about a mile before getting out. I only saw one guy completely flip upon entering the water. Brrrr!
The actual website for the race is currently down but a local radio station KHUM is doing a great job of posting this year's photos if you want to see more.
FOR THE GLORY!
