Inspiration

If you need some inspiration to get involved in the head of the dart race/cruise then check out this video of the most famous SUP event – The Battle of the Paddle. This event attracts hundreds of paddlers of all abilities and motivations.

How long will it take?

The fastest paddlers will complete the race in about 1hr 20 mins while those just in it for the cruise will take about 2hrs paddling at a very leisurely pace- The incoming tide really helps push the paddlers along, so even if you just dipped your paddle in very occasionally you’d still be in time for tea and cakes!

High Tide is 3.38pm

Race starts at 12.30pm (TBC but it will be 15 mins either side of this)
