Polar Paddle 2018 - South End Surf N Paddle and ALO
February 3 @ 498 Pearl St, Beach Haven, NJ 08008, United States
GENERAL INFO
Polar Paddle AND After-Party Potluck (suggested but not required)!
Just because winter has rolled around doesn’t mean you can’t still sneak out on the water for some fun. Throw on your wetsuits and booties, a wool cap and join us for a winter paddle race in the frigid (hopefully not frozen) waters of Barnegat Bay.
Pre-register online and your race packet will be waiting. All you have to do is sign the form and pay and you are all set. Registration occurs at South End Surf N Paddle @ 220 S Bay Ave, Beach Haven, NJ starting at 11 am. Race is an Noon one block over. An easy walk. There is plenty of parking at both at the shop and at the race start.
If the bay is too frozen then race will be postponed until sometime in late March. When you pre-register you don't pay until race day / no obligation if you can't make alternate date. But we are still hoping for February 3rd to work!
