Summary
A sea lion unexpectedly hops onto an outrigger canoe mid-race in Monterey Bay, causing a viral moment that didn’t slow the team down—Outrigger Santa Cruz still finished third. Paddlers initially mistook it for a shark, but the curious marine mammal just chilled before sliding back in. The crew stayed calm, the lead paddler didn’t miss a beat, and the filmer called it an awesome nature encounter. A wild reminder that the ocean’s surprises are part of the adventure.
