Well,, it's that time of year again when it's time to test yourself against the clock and other paddlers in the 2011/12 RPS Race Series.

For this season, we've teamed up with the paddle crew from Half Moon Bay SLSC and will be running a 5 race series. Based on the 1 hour format as in past years, this year will see sup paddlers thrashing it out on the same course with ski and rescue mal paddlers.

Expect a few surprises and different courses, maybe even some beach running. This series will test the best and also allow the recreational paddlers to improve their endurance as well as skill level.

All races will be held at Half Moon Bay. There is ample parking, toilets and a cafe [ for breakfast].

Registration is from 7 am, with racing starting at 8am. Early start = Early finish, so you can be back at home for breakfast!




Course length will vary depending upon weather and wind conditions.

Categories for Sup paddlers will include

- Men's, Open and 12'6"

- Womens, Open and 12'6"

- Men's over 45, Open and 12'6"

- Juniors [ 16 and under]

Sup paddlers must be a current Sup Vic member [ you can join on the day].

Entry fee per race is $10 per paddler.

Overall results will be calculated on the paddlers' 3 best placings.

Paddlers who enter 3 or more races are eligible for the major prize which will be a spanking, new Starboard 12'6" Race board.

Get training now, as the first race is Sunday, Sept 11th.
