A Celebration of Sport, celebrates its 18th year April 17-20, 2008. Since 1991, the Sea Otter Classic has been the springboard from which companies launch innovative products and athletes boost pro racing careers, like those of world champion Tom Boonen and Olympic gold medalist Julien Absalon. Next year, the Sea Otter Classic will set an even greater stage for an audience determined to get the most out of what Sea Otter has to offer.
Laguna Seca, Monterey, CA
The Sea Otter Classic has always been an international zone for pro racers, some who have gone on to perform spectacularly on the world stage. Tom Boonen raced at Sea Otter before pulling on the rainbow stripes that distinguish a world champion. Julien Absalon finished sixth at Sea Otter in 2003 before he went on to claim the Olympic gold medal at Athens in 2004.
