First, if you had previously booked through the Battle on the Bay discount code, as of yesterday, the Moody Gardens Hotel has cancelled all reservations. There will be no need for you to call in and do so. 

After much coordination with Moody Gardens, the Moody Gardens Hotel and all those involved, we are happy to announce that the new date for Battle on the Bay will be Saturday, SEPTEMBER 30, 2017! You will need to reserve your hotel rooms again. Room rates will be identical as before. We will be issued a new direct online link shortly to post up on the Battle on the Bay website, or you can call 1-888-388-8484 directly and give the discount code: Battle on the Bay.

Again, thank you very much for your patience and support. We see the comments that you have posted, and it has motivated the staff even more to quickly set up a new date. We also know that the new date may not work for some of you, and for that we apologize. We hope that you can join us again in the future. As for those who will, hey... we just gave you some extra practice time! 

The staff and crew would like to send a big thanks to Moody Gardens and the hotel for doing all they can to help us reset the event. All the same plans are in place and ready to go for September 30th! As far as we're concerned, Harvey may have thrown us a punch, but Battle on the Bay is standing strong and swinging back!

Stand-up paddling and kayak / canoe racing, although more recent, has a strong following as well. It has been reported that stand-up paddling is one of the most popular activities among first-time participants. What many do not realize is that SUP, kayaking and dragon boat activities share much of the same technique and mechanics.

With the combined forces of Island Paddle and Houston Heat Dragon Boat Club, we are excited to bring both paddling disciplines to one great event: Battle on the Bay, held at Moody Gardens! We’ve taken our first-hand experience and input from fellow participants to put together an event like no other! This truly will be a paddling event run by paddlers!
