The Florida State Paddleboard Championship (FSPBC) is a WPA Region 5 Sanctioned Points Event.

The

FSPBC is one of the longest

running paddleboard races on the East Coast of the United States (since

2000). It was the first race on the East Coast to offer a Stand Up Paddleboard division (in April 2007).

The

FSPBC is held in conjunction with the Easter Surf Festival, a four day

event that draws 15,000 to 20,000 spectators daily. It is held on

Saturday, the busiest day. In 2014, it will be held on April

19th.

The

FSPBC is a 7 mile open ocean race. The King and Queen of the Beach

Competition (a 3 part sprint event consisting of a swim, paddle, and

run) is held at the completion of the 7 mile race.

At the end of the competition, there is a free raffle offering high quality items which all paddlers have an opportunity to win.

All proceeds from the event go directly to the Cocoa Beach Surf Museum.
