Paddling the tandem surf ski in the foreground are two of the stars of my movie that premiered last month: Mike and Savanna Herbert of Rogers, Arkansas.
Long-time followers of the sport remember Mike as one of the top 500-meter racers in the world at his athletic peak. In later life he has continued his career as a force on the domestic race circuit. His daughter Savanna is a recent college graduate who has become more seriously involved in the sport in recent years and is steadily improving.
Sometimes Mike and Savanna race solo, and sometimes they join to make a formidable tandem team. In this picture they're competing in the 31-mile "Chattajack" race two Saturdays ago on the Tennessee River at Chattanooga. Photo by Christel Herbert.
