Had a couple of pictures from last year's Clash of the Krakens pop up in my Facebook memories.
There were a lot of lessons learned that day, and more than one thing went wrong for sure. We had malfunctioning equipment and questions about judges decisions. We had a cold morning followed by way too much sun. The trophies were silly. We had to improvise and adapt as we went along. It really shouldn't have been a success, but somehow we pulled it off.
Then, something amazing happened! After the chaos of that day, Adam Woodfin and Bash Thunderbeard Crowley decided to give this competition another try. They said "let's grow this into something bigger and better".
And that's exactly what we did! We increased the the competitor slots and we engineered contraptions that had to hold up to some of the strongest athletes in New England. We absolutely put all our effort into this to bring our athletes the best experience possible!
Then, something amazing happened! You supported us! You signed up to compete. You sponsored us. You came and cheered on the athletes. You bought food from Currents - Seafood & Spirits and you made the day feel like magic! I can't even begin to thank everybody enough for the immense support we received for Clash of the Krakens 2! You all showed us just how awesome this community is! Without you, none of this could happen. We're truly grateful for all of your support, belief in us, and patience in us as we continue to learn and grow this competition!
We'll be back next year with more mayhem and shenanigans! You've shown us that you want more, and we're going to give it to you!
Thank you so much! This small competition will continue to grow and improve as long as we have your support!
