One of the biggest paddle festivals in Florida is happening. It includes all craft from SUPs, Surfskis, OC1, OC6’s, kayaks and more. Race Director Karen Mirlenbrink said they have more surfskis registered this year than any other year. As of April 1st they have over 110 registered paddlers for all events. Major surfski vendors :Think, Stellar, and Epic will be displaying their lastest surfskis. Top paddler Reid Hyle from Stellar will give a Pre Race Strategy presentation before the race. Think paddler Jesse Lishchuk will be giving an Advance Surfski Clinic on Sunday and Epic will be offering an intro clinic as well.
