THE STANDUP PADDLEBOARDING CHAMPIONSHIPS

THE STANDUP PADDLEBOARDING CHAMPIONSHIPS

Information

The Venus Riders Family Stand Up Paddleboarding Championship will be held for the third time in 2012.   Everyone (8+ years) can enter, no experience is necessary. The event will take place over several days at Blackpool Sands, near Dartmouth.   In 2012, the format will change from previous years.  It is planned that the 'Summer Sizzler' Stand Up Paddleboarding competition (for 'professionals') will kick off the event on Saturday 2nd June (not organised by Venus, but by Red Paddle Co - one of the sponsors of the Venus Riders event). Heats for the general public will be held on the Saturday, Sunday and Monday with finals on Tuesday 5th June.  These were held in the morning on each of the days in previous years. The age groups in 2010/11 were: 8-12 years, 13-16 years and 17+ years.  Although these aren't confirmed for 2012, they are likely to stay the same. The competition was free to enter in previous years and all competitors were also entered into a free prize draw to win fantastic prizes from the event's sponsors.
