SUMMARY:Last Paddler Standing
DESCRIPTION:Last Paddler Standing is an endurance SUP race. Unlike any other paddle race in the world\, Last Paddler Standing is a race of stamina and strategy. Racers will paddle a 3.33-mile loop course\, starting and finishing the loop within a one-hour period. The next loop will begin on the hour and the race goes until only one paddler is left standing. At the 48-hour mark\, the length of the loop will be increased. Do you have what it takes to be the Last Paddler Standing? \n\n\n\nThis is a SUP-only race. Paddlers must use a single blade\, no double blades allowed. Boards cannot be hybrid sit on top. Prone is allowed but you must have a paddle on the board with you at all times. This race is designed to challenge your endurance\, stamina\, and strategic thinking. It’s not solely about speed\, so don’t select your SUP based on that. The race will start on Saturday\, Nov 30 at 9:00 AM. The race will go until there’s one finisher. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe race is timed with each loop starting on the hour\, every hour. Racers must be at the starting line within 10 seconds of the top of the hour. Racers must complete the course loop within the hour time period and be ready to go at the top of the next hour. If the race comes down to two final competitors\, the race will continue until one quits. At which point\, the final competitor must finish one final solo loop in order to claim the title of Last Paddler Standing. \nThis race could last only a few hours or it could last for days. It all depends on your mental and physical fortitude!
