CALIFORNIA GOLD 2022
Laguna Beach Ocean Lifeguards competed in, and won, the California Gold race in Newport Beach; defeating San Diego County, Los Angeles County, Orange County, Santa Cruz City, and Monmouth County, New Jersey Lifeguards.
The California Gold is held in memory of Newport Beach Ocean Lifeguard, Ben Carlson, who passed away on July 6th, 2014, while saving the life of another. The event raised over $9,000 for the Ben Carlson Foundation.
The California Gold consists of 28 miles of coastline racing with four ocean sport disciplines. These disciplines include two miles of swimming, eight miles of running, 12 miles of surf sking, and six miles of paddling. Team Laguna Beach Lifeguards competed in the relay, with swimmer Hayden Hundeby, runner Anders Hundeby, surf skier Patrick Hemmens, and paddler Porter Hogan.
By winning the event, the Laguna Beach Ocean Lifeguard Foundation received $1,000 to assist low-income families with enrolling into the Laguna Beach Junior Lifeguard program.
