From The 12/19/20 Show: An Interview with Bobbie Smith of San Diego Row Club and San Diego Crew

December 21, 2020

Listen to our interview with Bobbie Smith below, from our 12/19/20 show!

Bobbie is the new Executive Director of San Diego Crew Classic. 

Smith brings 20 years of experience in business and connections in rowing to the position. Her love of the sport began as a rower in the US national team system and continued as coach on both juniors and collegiate teams. She is both an entrepreneur and engineer and has been running her own business for 10 years. She is a part of the local rowing community currently serving as a coach of the Juniors and rower with the Masters at San Diego Rowing Club. Her fondest memory of the San Diego Crew Classic was her Lightweight Women’s win in the Referee’s Cup in 2016. She looks to draw upon her passion for rowing as well as her leadership and strong business acumen in her new role. Bobbie is a graduate of UCLA where she also rowed.

When asked about her new position, Smith said, “I am excited to be a part of the Crew Classic in its 47th year of racing and look forward to the years to come. My earliest memory of San Diego Crew Classic was as a novice athlete at UCLA. I had no idea how big the sport was nationally, and was happy to see all of the rowers, including Masters. There were literally thousands of people racing. I knew then that this was a sport I could compete in for the rest of my life. I am grateful to have the opportunity to work with the great community that we have here in San Diego and keep this regatta going strong for years to come. Most of all though, I am grateful to be able to give back to this community that has given me so much.”
