Changes for 2027

We're making a few tweaks for 2027.
The racing is still going to be the same format with Distance, Technical and Sprints.

Board Class
We're tweaking the board classes. Everything is still inflatable.
Long Boards will be boards over 13'11
Medium Boards are over 12'5 and under 13'11
Short Boards are 12'5 and under

Racer Class
We're amending the rules slightly following a couple of requests. We will have two racer classes
Male/Open
Female
If any ladies want to race with the men, please sign up in the Male/Open class 😃

The mandatory wearing of Crocs is still being discussed by the Committee.

Ticket sales should be going live in October, so keep 'em peeled!

We hope you all enjoyed our 2026 season as much as we enjoyed putting it on!
Dates and venues for 2027 will be announced shortly, possibly in the next couple of days 😱

As a sneaky peak, we’re looking at 4 venues for next year.

So this is your official reminder to get practicing those turns for 2027 😀

We've been super quiet on the socials in recent weeks but its all because we have had our busiest season yet not only out at markets but also designing and making medals and trophies for many different events.

Everything from the SUP English Riviera Festival and ICF World Cup, Paddle UK Marathon, Sprint, Freestyle and rafting , Pump n Paddle Series, and the SUP National Race series as well as many more and we've got loads more to come. The best bit is when we also get to go to the events alongside our sister company Bio Mates with the ICF World Cup location in Torquay hard to beat

Thank you to all our friends and supporters, notably

Have you won one of our medals or trophies yet? Would love to see pics if you have 😍

Saturday saw some fantastic racing at Pitsford Reservoir withour third and final race of 2026 hosted by Sailing Club .
Some very close racing in the mens sprint heats - iSUPs generally mean board contact will happen and as they say, 'Rubbing is Racing'!
