The largest
Stand Up Paddleboarding (SUP) event on the East Coast will take place in Miami
on January 13th, 2013. An official World Paddle Association event, the Orange
Bowl Paddle Championship powered by Jimmy Lewis will include competitive and
amateur paddleboarders, including more than 100 Big Brothers and Big Sisters
with their "Littles."
Navigating a
course that will start in Biscayne Bay and run up the Miami River against the
backdrop of downtown Miami’s skyline, participants will compete for the largest
purse prize on the East Coast while supporting a good cause – positive adult
mentor relationships for at-risk children. All proceeds from the event will
benefit Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Miami.
Prior to race
day, media are invited to experience a paddleboard lesson from Paddleboard
Miami founder and Survivor: Nicaragua contestant Brenda Lowe and the
East Coast’s most winning paddler and Florida resident Packet Casey.
