Bermuda, May 2017
« on: January 13, 2017, 10:25:26 AM »
Hello Paddlers,

My name is Christian Shaw, co-founder of Plastic Tides: www.plastictides.org

Last year in Bermuda we launched a novel round de island charity SUP event called the Devil's Isle Challenge. At 40 miles this is the longest ocean SUP race in the world and can be tackled solo or in relay teams of up to eight paddlers. The event raises awareness of plastic pollution and everyday solutions, while also raising funds for a program we've established called SUP'r Kids Bermuda. This free paddling program gives kids the opportunity to learn SUP and integrates environmental awareness and stewardship with the goal of inspiring the next generation of ocean advocates.

This year we're taking things to the next level!

Yes OffShore! We've sending boards over and back for free from NYC and Jacksonville, FL. Your Red 14' would be the perfect weapon though!
