Stand Up World Series Finals at Turtle Bay
The Waterman League is committed to the best interest of the sport of Stand Up Paddling in every respect.

In our opinion, nobody wins when two major events clash, so we have decided to push our event back to the same dates as last year for the good of the sport: the new dates will be the 10th – 12th October 2014.
