That's right; Adventure Sports Miami is hosting a series of SUP races on the 1st and 3rd Thursday's of each month at Scotty’s Landing in Coconut Grove, Florida. Races start at 6:45 sharp. Those that want to compete must arrive by 6:30
to be placed in brackets. There is no charge for this fun event series.
Last Thursday we did a little test of our "Mano a Mano" (hand to hand) SUP race at Scotty's Landing in Coconut Grove. It was a total success and really stoked all of the participants for the start of our series.
This unique type of racing is fun for everyone and equally weights board handling skills and speed. Competitors will race head to head in a “pursuit” style race. Two marks are placed approximately 15 yards apart. Two competitors will start at opposite ends of the course and round the marks in pursuit of the other rider. When one rider is able to catch the other and “tap out” on the tail of the other riders board, he or she will advance to the next round.
Just bring yourself as Adventure Sports Miami is bringing the boards. If you have a board that you would like to race, bring it along. Keep in mind that as we are launching off docks paddlers need to take special care to avoid damaging their boards.
In the interests of time, these races are limited to the first 20 riders to sign up.
