We are also organising a limited team tag race that will all race on the same production board. The tag team race will currently be limited to 12 teams (unless we get more of this board). Each team must consist of one open male, one open female and an over 40's paddler. The tag team race will be one lap each. First 12 teams to have registered members will be in the race. Hurry up and register.

When you register please send me an email to info@sunshinecoastsup.com and let me know what division you will be competing in and also if you are in the tag team race (include which team).

The festival that will be running around the race is expected to have up to 5000 people at it. It will include bands playing on the beach, Coolum Kites, Tom Wegner shaping his Alaia and hosting a demo day plus much more.
The day before will have a concert that will have "The Cruel Sea, Beautiful Girls, Xavier Rudd and many more. Come and enjoy the fun.

Here is an option of what the race might look like. It is approximately 5 laps of a 1km course. This may change on the day due to conditions.

No 14' division Sorry. As this is the first year we are just working on the core race and will grow it from there.

Hopefully not me, I'm not paddling buoys with chains and anchors out ever again

trying to organise the weekend & family what time does the racing start?
also is the over 40's classed as age on the event date or age this year? different events have different rules.

cheers

This is going to be huge. I have heard from crew on the Gold Coast that around 40 or more paddlers might come up. The race start will be terrific.
The whole race will be live web streamed.

There will be the individual races and tag team events.
