The Sprint Classic 200M (Heats)- Race #3 of 6 

(This is our 3rd location for the 2023 season and we are adding a fun twist, new course, into the sprint race this year for 2023. 

This year the 200 M sprint will include 1 bouy turn (down and back)  Standing, water start, water finish.  ISA world championships ran this format in 2022 and we loved the idea!  You will have 2 buoys set evenly at the turn and it is up to you what bouy you decide to turn around, going either left or right, then sprint back to the finish.  We feel this format adds a bit of strategy into your decision making process and still gives equal turning capabilities for your favored side!

Racers will progress through heats throughout the morning, most likely doing 2-3 heats.

For those new to SUP or SUP sprinting, there will be a fun run sprint!  This will be a one heat race winner take all.  This is a great way to get your feet wet and enjoy and awesome morning of racing with individuals who are out there to have fun too!

This entire race will have great views from land for cheering your friends and family on while we are commentating beach side.  

Board and gear demos will be available after the race.

Please plan to join us after at Model A Brewery and Restaurant for lunch and friendship!

All Goat Boater Races are SUP only event.  There will be no other kayaks, OC's or other crafts to dodge.

Testimonial: "Full disclaimer- I am 62 this is only my second year of racing and I get severe pre race pre meeting new people jitters. I participated in the Goat Boater Race series 2021- Megan and Rob embrace the spirit of SUP- all who come are welcome - these values are also evident in their race team. There were so many different participants from elite athletes, to families tandem racing, to people new to the sport and/ or racing. It is fun- serious fun during the race- but fun. The racers cheer each other on - even to the last one coming in - I could feel the positive energy of the group. There is a social paddle after the race - a fun way to get to know each other - get tips- and try other equipment out. Megan and Rob are very knowledgable and can help you navigate the different board types if you are ready to move to a race board (or new race board), Race conditions are closely monitored, there are plenty of safety lookouts so those new to paddling in moving water can feel well protected. There is clear communication to participants which I appreciate pre race day and prior to the race start. If one is an experienced SUP racer or a novice there is a place for all in the Goat Boater Series."
