Why You Need To Enter The Pacifico Challenge Paddleboard Race Next Year

The Pacifico Challenge paddle board race in St. Pete was such a great event. I recommend it for any paddler and here is why.

It Is Well Organized

There is nothing more frustrating than an event which is run poorly. The Pacifico Challenge is organized very well, run on time, and at a great venue.

It’s A Different Kind Of Race

It’s a technical course with 12’6″ being the money class. 4-5 laps with a beach run every lap. This means in with the surf, chicane run, and back out through the surf. 5 times! It becomes very interesting and takes different skills to be fast through these portions.

Cash Prizes

Who doesn’t love cash prizes? I took 5th this year and won $100! I was pumped!
