On
July 18 Big Bear PaddleFest 2015 had to be suspended at 8:45am due to a
strong storm that rolled in. The World Paddle Association immediately
designated September 19, 2015 as the best date to continue the
competition.
Everyone who paid is still registered and entered
for that date. The weather history for September 19th on Big Bear Lake
shows a 3% chance of rain and a average temperature of 76 degrees F. So
we should have a good chance to finish this time.
Ready to test your stamina at 6700'? The eighth annual Big Bear PaddleFest is held on the South Shore of Big Bear Lake, hosted by North Shore Trading Company.
