SUP Races at Windfest?

I'm going to be racing on Saturday. I don't love windsurfing racing because, basically, I'm not a fast sailor. I also hate to lose, and there are some pretty good sailors out there who will kick my patootie in a race. That said, Windfest may have some standup paddling races which have me excited. To quote the Puffin:


Other potential events at the Regatta:


SUP Races

- If enough people bring paddles and are willing, we'll run some SUP races along the beach. SUP boards are preferred, but Longboards can used as well.



This sounds like a lot of fun. Of course it also means I have to shlep three huge boards to Windfest: Scott's monstrosity, my squirrel-eaten Kona, and Kirsten's squirrel-nibbled Amundsen SUP board.


This is one race I really want to do well in.


Paddling, paddling, with really lousy form.
Straighten that right arm, Ian!
Oh, so you fell now?
