Team California is a grassroots squad of saltwater kayak anglers hailing from across the Golden State, united by a shared passion and competitive spirit. Established through a regional qualifier held in San Diego, this group earned its spot at the national level by securing invitations to the USA Saltwater Kayak Fishing National Championship in Pompano Beach, Florida on August 9, 2025, alongside Extreme Kayak Fishing’s Summer Slam II. Built on community support, Team California represents the region on a path toward international competition—including potential selection for Team USA in the 2026 Pan American and World Championships.
THE TEAM
Getting Team California to Florida takes more than just dedication—it requires a significant financial commitment. Flights, lodging, transporting kayaks and gear, tournament entry fees—it all adds up quickly. That’s where we need your help. Your support directly offsets these costs and helps our team focus on what matters most: preparing, competing, and proudly representing California and the USA on the national stage.
