"Kids Paddle":

We, as members of the SUP Community would like to share the experience of bonding with our natural surroundings out on the water with our local special needs children. Waterman give back...and we are asking for racers who wish to stick around after the awards ceremony to pair with a local child and show them what it is to be up and out on the water. To see, if only for a brief time, why we are so hooked on this sport! I think they will enjoy it as much as we do!!

Awards, Prizes, Goodies:

The top 3 finishers in each division shall receive a Custom Trophy. All entries shall receive a swag bag full of goodies, samples and freebies from local restaurants, bars and retail stores. The first 200 Racers to check in on site shall receive a Sarasota SUP Race Series Flex Fit Hat. All racers will be given a ticket for a free lunch in designated lunch tents. Hats, T-shirts, Coozies, Red Bull and Kona samples shall be available for Racers, Family and Friends joining in on the days festivities. All are welcome to either leave early or spend the day and demo SUP boards, lend a helping hand to local children to experience SUP, listen to some tunes, have a cold Kona, grab a LazyBunz Water Lounger and go cool off in the water or enjoy our sandy beach at the Rowing Center!!!
