5SUP the Creek 2024
This event weekend offers a flatwater distance event on Saturday 18 in Kingsbridge and on this 10th birthday year, the event will also form part of the GBSUP National Series. For many SUP The Creek is a challenge as the weather can throw everything at us, sometimes sun, wind, rain, chop, headwind, downwind, flat and a few turns! This challenge is what makes the event unique compared to other races. Our race team and support boats work hard to deliver SUP The Creek to ensure we can host a race that is fun, safe and challenging to varying competency levels so that there is something for everyone.
Mandatory Safety Requirement
All paddlers must wear a quick release belt AND a PFD.
