We'll send through more information after registration, and we'll provide a race briefing, but the basic rules are:

• Arm yourself with your paddle (and maybe a lifejacket)
• Sprint from the start line on the beach to your board
• Put on your leg leash, and jump into the water with your board and paddle
• Race to the large floating buoy
• Turn around the buoy
• Return to shore
• Take off your leg leash, leave your board on the shore and run to the finish line!

This is not an exhaustive list, but we recommend the following:

• Water
• A good hat
• Sunscreen
• Clothes or swimsuit you don't mind getting wet
• A good sense of humour

Yes. We will provide lifejackets, and there are safety volunteers on hand. But we recommend that you can swim at least 50m (160ft).

No. We will have SUP boards, leg leashes, paddles, and lifejackets for you. Wearing lifejackets is optional for adults, but mandatory for children.

We are donating profits from our event to the Ocean Recovery Alliance. The Ocean Recovery Alliance is dedicated to finding solutions to plastic pollution:

Ocean Recovery Alliance is focused on entrepreneuring programs to reduce plastic pollution, both on land and water, by creating strategic solutions for governments, industry and communities which lead to long-term, hands-on business practices that engage. Our mission is achieved through purposefully designed programs to educate, build awareness and provide solutions which inspire positive societal change at the community, national and international levels.

Please visit their website for more information.

Yes. However, we will not be conducting a prize giving ceremony because of social distancing regulations. If you win a prize, we will send you details on how to collect or how to redeem your prize via phone or email.

We will cancel the event if we believe the conditions are not suitable or safe for racing. This includes T3, rainstorm and thunderstorm warnings, strong wind and heavy swell. We will do our best to make our call by 7am the morning of the race (if not before), and will inform competitors via email.

We will then either try to reschedule the event, or we will provide a full refund of your registration fee.
