Fistral Beach SUP Surf Race event: Clash of the Paddle September 2016
This looks set to be one of the best UK events we have seen thus far.
CLASH OF THE PADDLE
10th-11th September, Fistral Beach, Cornwall, UK
Running over two days at one of the UK’s most reliable and iconic surf breaks, Clash of the Paddle at Fistral Beach looks like it could be one of the most spectacular and entertaining events in the domestic calendar.
Centred around a series of short, fun surf races, paddlers and spectators can expect plenty of action on the water.
Entrants can choose between cruiser (below12’6) and pro fleets (12’6 and above), with pro competitors gaining automatic entry into the surf sprint series. All entrants also gain entry into the monster sup racing and surf events which are sure to be a highlight of the weekend.
Event organiser Dom Moore said “We wanted to make Clash of the Paddle as comfortable and as fun for the competitors as possible. Morning rego, parking, showers, kit storage, event parties, everything is all centred around the Fistral Beach complex and the luxurious Headland Hotel. We wanted to avoid the bleak windswept car park comp experience”
This is the first event of its kind at Fistral Beach, and a rare chance to paddle at North Fistral which will be completely zoned off for the event. September is the best time to be in Cornwall; the water and air is warm, the winds typically light, and the first Autumn swells are starting to show. Fistral and the surrounding beaches are pristine locations with clear water and golden sand and receive clean, long distance Atlantic swells, perfect for big board racing.
