The series of stand-up paddleboard and outrigger canoe races begins at 9 a.m. and aims to wrap-up at 11 a.m. with a post-race party and lunch at the Baja Restaurant. Race divisions accommodate the novice to hardcore; with a two-mile novice race, a four- to six-foot SUP endurance race and a seven-mile outrigger canoe course. The race formats -- whether it be downwind, out and back or a surf/slalom course -- will be determined by the conditions on the day of the event. If ocean conditions prove to be too extreme, the event will run in Back Bay.
Aside from providing a platform for Sandbridge paddling bragging rights to be won, the real winners are the event's charities. All proceeds will be donated to Surfer's Healing VB and the Virginia Aquarium Stranding Team.
So come on out to this super-fun event and get your race on for a couple of great local causes! The $40 fee covers race entry, the post-race lunch and goodies from event sponsors like S&A!
