Join us on Monday, June 20 at 5:30pm at Indian Trail Beach for our first Woods Creek Lake SUP Cup Race. One of the best ways to get on the water this summer is to SUP or Stand Up Paddleboard- Basically paddling big surfboard style boards while standing up! This event is family friendly and open to all ages. Great oppertunity for new paddlers, recreational paddlers who enjoy competition and even advanced paddler can use this for training/exercise. This flat water course is lifeguarded and marked out with floating bouys that define right and left turns. Part of the challange is staying upright while making turns and finally completing the course with a beach finish to capture your division flag (see award information below).
