Want to try SUP racing for the first time? Then this race is for you and your friends.  It’s the 1st event in the Kalavida Summer SUP Series and a great way to try out racing for the first time.  The folks at Kalavida Surf Shop are supporting it and the first event goes Saturday, June 5 at Kalamalka Beach in Vernon, BC.  Wait…. there’s more

The race is open to everyone from newbie’s to SUPerstars and the course will start from Kal Beach and there will be categories for newbies and advanced paddlers.  If you haven’t raced a SUP event before, then this is the perfect way to start.  The event is partnering with SPrKL (The Society for the Protection of Kalamalka Lake) to raise awareness for our local lake and to make it even more exciting, the event is being filmed for the popular TV program, X-Weighted.
