Outer Banks Ocean Paddle Race

On July 25th, Outer Banks Stand Up Paddle fielded seven paddlers for the 16th Annual Surfrider Foundation's One Mile Ocean Paddle Race. The race was extremely well organized. A brisk southerly wind combined with ocean surf made for a challenging event. Michele won the Women's SUP race and is shown with her Gerry Lopez SUP fin set prize. It was a great opportunity for long & short boarders, kayakers, and paddlers to share the ocean and talk story over a delicious lunch. We look forward to supporting future events and the Foundation's charter of protecting our beaches.
