Maybe they needed a little practice paddle in San Francisco Bay :)

"Kayak leg coordinator Captain Buddy Bohn commented on the day's conditions,
" Today was an extremely challenging rescue environment with winds gusting
up to 45 knots, seas in excess of four meters, poor visibility, cold water
and breaking waves to the horizon. I've been a lifeguard for 31 years and
this is as extreme and on the edge as any of our lifeguards have
encountered.""
