JL Racing

Happy ! Today we have an exclusive Pride Month special Feature Friday - Logan Fink . Logan helped us bring some Pride items (now available!) to life with great images. He is a Team JL Ambassador, and rows at Kitsap Rowing Association and also races for Allies with Oars. Read more about Logan's story here:
"Technically, I started my rowing journey at Washington State as a walk-on; however, before I could even get on the water, classes and work got in the way and I had to stop. Fast forward about 15 years, I discovered a learn to row class with a local rowing club, Kitsap Rowing Association and began hopping into their open row sessions to get more time in the boat. After a few months, I accidentally showed up to a race practice and the coach said, "Well, you're here, so I guess get in the boat." I haven't been able to get enough of it since then. Over the last few years, I have competed with KRA in both sprints and heads, bringing home quite a bit of hardware in the process. I have also become one of the club coaches, and most recently club President, leveraging my professional and personal experiences to help shape our small and scrappy club into something much more, with a big focus on inclusivity and making rowing accessible to all. I am also in my third year racing for Allies with Oars, a gender-inclusion focused LGBTQIA+ team that competes in regattas across the US. During my time with Allies, I competed in a 66km coastal relay at Salt Spring Island in BC, Canada, local beach sprints in a 1x, 2x and 4+, in an 8+ at Head of the Charles for the last two years, and most recently in an Open Gender Masters 4x at San Diego Crew Classic, where we finished in first place with almost 30 seconds of open water. As a gay athlete, I am immensely proud of how far I have come, and the network of q***r rowers and allies I can lean on as colleagues, teammates and friends. Current state of the world is a bit scary, but if I can use my voice and privilege to help make the rowing world just a little more safe for other q***r athletes, then it is all worth it."
