Come for a Paddle

 Board paddling combines strength, balance, and surf skill. Using a racing board, competitors paddle from the beach, around buoys, and back through the surf. Events include individual board races, board rescue (with a swimmer and paddler), and board relay teams, where three paddlers complete consecutive legs. 

 Simulated rescue events where competitors paddle to a “swimmer” and place them on a board and bring them back to shore. These races highlight lifesaving skills, speed, and technique. 

 Surf ski racing tests power, endurance, and ocean knowledge. Competitors paddle their skis from the beach, around buoys, and back through the surf. Events include individual and double ski races, and ski relays, where paddlers tag teammates. 

 Team relays combining multiple disciplines. Taplin features swim, board, ski, and run legs consecutively; Cameron (for Youth competition) is only swim, board and run. A multi-discipline relay, testing endurance and strategy. 

 Multi-discipline endurance races combining swim, board paddling, ski paddling, and beach running in a continuous course. Competitors compete individually, testing versatility, fitness, and strategy.
