YETI Presents: Lean Against the Wind

Conquering a 45-mile stretch of stacked waves, crashing currents, and blistering winds-13 times with just a paddle in hand-is just one way Lauren Spalding is considered a champion. Add Olympian and working parent to the list, and it’s safe to say she’s not only embodying her father’s push-the-limits fervor but is cementing her own unparalleled legacy in the history books, one wave at a time.

Strength of spirit and not letting motherhood "end" your life is a beautiful thing.

Mike sounds like my Gramps....Just a tough old Quebecois former lumberjack who could paddle forever even in his 70s...

Great work!

[@chickenjoe6528]

Love these videos from you guys! Would love to work for you after college.

[@danamiller2282]

Great video! Poor description. You don’t “conquer” the channel. You conquer your fears, your pain, your doubts. Any of the ocean people in this video would tell you that. The channel remains. You’ve been allowed to pass through. If you are Lauren you do it like a boss. No “conquering” necessary.

[@openh20]

well spoken. after 3 crossings, I never felt like I had conquered anything other than what was inside.

[@Ryan-pm1hp]

Yay finally another yeti presents. How come you post a ton of these on Instagram but not here on UA-cam?
