A Big Wave from RAAM

The odds of having a crash while riding a bike is 1. Those odds caught up to Team Surfing USA yesterday in dramatic fashion as Jason Winn was involved in an automobile accident(he will be ok) ending the team's bid at a cross continent cycling record. The Team was in first place (standard bikes) when the accident occurred. Team Surfing USA offered RAAM and their fans a window into the lives of four extraordinary gentleman who's diverse and highly successful lives formed America's cycling team for RAAM 2009. Thank you Team Surfing USA we loved your color and we offer you a Big Wave.

What a downer- it was fun watching them race. What happened to Jason? Hope all is well and he'll be back on a bike soon!

Just was wondering or curious as to why they incurred a 30-minute penalty earlier in the race?

THE ABOVE COMMENT DOES NOT MATCH WHAT SURFERMAG.COM SAYS ABOUT THE ACCIDENT. IT SOUNDS LIKE TEAM SURFING USA IS GETTING RIPPED OFF HERE. TEAM SURFING USA WAS AND IS AN INSPIRATION. LET'S HOPE THE REAL STORY EVENTUALLY COMES OUT.

I was only an "honorary" support team member, and only briefly. But even so I can't imagine the disappointment you feel. This was an extrordinary group of people and I am honored to know them. Good luck next year!

It appears that the comment we were referring to has been deleted from the comments of this blog.

More than ever we hope the real story will come to light. Go Laird and Team Surfing USA!

By the way, everbody should watch "Riding Giants" to see Laird and all the watermen in their true element.

A highly contested field of racers battle for supremacy with such a large field (at time of this update 17 teams) the winners will be those that are fast in the saddle and supported by seamless crews who set-up each rider exchange without delay. If you stop moving forward all other teams are gaining 1 mile on you on an average of every 3 minutes.
