SurfingSports Standup Paddle Surf & Standup Paddling BLOG

13'6" & 14'6"...

"This race is the most challenging and prestigious of its kind in the world. A 32-mile paddleboard race across the treacherous waters of the Ka’iwi Channel, it is the ultimate measure of strength, endurance and agility. To inaugurate the event, Hawaiian will priests conduct a sacred ceremony in full traditional garb, sounding conch shell horns and blessing the race with ancient prayers. A celebration with food, live music by Titus and Melvin and an awards ceremony will await competitors at the finish line. Also, defending champion and QSE team rider Jamie Mitchell will be on site to sign autographs."

Only the world’s finest paddlers compete in this event. They are respected for their achievements and inspire others to reach for success..."
