Diamond Head of Ala Moana (in conjunction with Honolulu Triathlon)
Time: 1- 3 pm
All types of boards available to try (except race boards – all at BOP)
Last week I got an email from Liam over at C4 HQ asking if I was interested in joining them at a ’secret’ location for their 2011 Battle of the Paddle Hawaii (BOP) team rider training session. Of course I said I was interested and had a great time with the C4 team. I got a little lost at first, had to hike through bushes, fell in some mud but eventually I got to the secluded area where they had setup a mini BOP race course.

Here’s a preview video for the 2011 Teva Mountain Games Stand Up Paddle Surf sprint race event sent to us by Todd Bradley from C4 Waterman.
(click thumbnail to launch video)
The event will be held on June 4, 2011 in Vail Colorado. Check out this post for more info.
Mirrored off the classic Down River Sprint, the Maui Jim SUP Surf Sprint presented by C4 Waterman is a race against the clock in the heart of Vail on Gore Creek. Anyone up for the challenge will run this 3-mile stretch of Gore Creek from East Vail to Vail Village SUP style. Competitors must stand strong because snow melt from the nearby Gore Range makes for icy waters while navigating the class II/III course. Mix in a handful of low bridges, drops and wave trains as paddlers battle it out in the SUP’ing of Gore Creek. Continue reading ‘Stand Up Paddle Surf Sprint race at the Teva Mountain Games’
JUNE – Place to Be: Colorado. What?
Thoughts of Colorado usually melt with the winter snow. But this June Colorado is back on center stage….for standup paddling.

With three separate events and nine individual competitions raring to go in some of the most spectacular whitewater the planet has to offer, there’s more reason than ever to be in Colorado in the summer. The record snow fall of the recent winter will soon become record rapids!
