SUP RACES
The SUP ONLY race for beginners/sprinters is the same 2km course as the swimmers.
The SWIM-SUP-SWIM-SUP Race (Individual or relay) is on half of the 200m loop for the swimmer (there will be an extra buoy marker for this purpose)  400m. loop for the paddler twice.

Swimming participants are allowed to have an individual support kayak or paddle board along the course as long as they do not interfere with the progress of any other swimmer. They can be used by coaches or assistants to supply water and nutrition to swimmers if they wish to use this method.
Buoys are directional cues. Swimmers can be on either side of them while going on a straight navigational line. Any participant has to go around the buoys at the turns.

 

INTRODUCING STAND UP PADDLE BOARD!

Once again, we are adding Stand Up Paddle Board Racing (SUP) to our festival. IN or ON the water the concept is to have lots of fun while doing the best we can ... just like when we were kids!!
We believe that swimmers should paddle and paddlers should swim as both they complement each other! and we hope that everyone has a joyful time while doing it.
