Sponsor Carson Crain

Why you should sponsor me for your next influencer campaign?

 Carson Crain is training and competing internationally as a professional sailor and windsurfer. His current goal is to represent the United States at the 2020 Olympic Games in the Men’s RS:X Windsurfer. Since learning to sail at the age of eight, Carson has sought out challenges and competition at the highest levels. Over the years, he has represented the United States at international sailing and windsurfing events including five North American Championships and six World Championships and has been a member of the US Sailing Team for many years. Attracted to the exhilarating speed and intense physical effort required, Carson made the switch from sailing to Olympic Windsurfing in the Fall of 2011 and has never looked back. From 2012 to 2016, Carson made unprecedented progress and established himself as the top US Olympic windsurfer. He represented the United States at the 2014 Olympic Test event, 2015 Olympic Test Event, and 2015 Pan American Games. He managed all aspects of a four-year Olympic campaign that raised over $200,000 from corporate sponsors and private donors. An unlucky and extremely close 2016 Olympic Trials left Carson needing to wait till 2020 to achieve his Olympic dream. While disappointing, this setback pushed Carson to put his efforts into accomplishing a very different sailing goal. He became the skipper and team leader for the United States in the 2017 Red Bull Youth America's Cup. His team, Next Generation USA, represented the USA and competed against 11 other countries on cutting edge, foiling 45ft catamarans capable of reaching speeds over 40mph. Through corporate and private backing, his all-American team raised over $300,000 dollars in less than a year in order to enter and compete in this extreme international sailing competition for under 25 year old sailors. Carson credits his 2017 degree in Sports Management & Sports Medicine from Rice University for helping him achieve much of his success on and off the water at such a young age. Carson’s journey to Olympic windsurfing and professional sailing is unique and is due to his drive towards the most exciting parts of the sport. His ability to understand the business side of sailing, as well as his unique ability to translate his skills into different boats, has positioned him as one of the young leaders of high-performance sailing in the United States. Carson is looking for partners with similar energy and passion to support him in his quest to perform at the highest levels of sailing. All roads lead to the Tokyo Olympic Games in 2020.
