Doheny State Beach, Dana Point, CA
September 28 & 29, 2013
(San Clemente, CA)— Come join Rainbow Sandals and Gerry Lopez for the sixth year anniversary of the stand-up paddle phenomenon “Battle of the Paddle”. This year’s event is set for September 28 & 29, 2013 on the famous shores of Doheny State Beach in beautiful Dana Point, California.
Come witness the high-energy races, spirited fanfare, and experience a huge stand-up paddle (SUP) exposition that is the heartbeat and pulse of a global lifestyle.
This year, the Battle of the Paddle, is expecting over 1,000 entries from around the globe. SUP athletes will be racing for over $25,000 in cash & prizes (the largest on offer in the sport of SUP).
Racers will also be taking part in two new Guinness World Record attempts. The first one on Saturday, to break the record for “the world’s largest paddleboard race” of “404” paddlers that set the record at last year’s event. And on Sunday, trying to break the existing record for “most surfers riding a single wave” (currently 110 surfers in Cape Town, SAF, 2009). Last year the Battle of the Paddle was very close with 95 surfers catching a wave off Doheny State Beach.
The Rainbow Sandals Gerry Lopez Battle of the Paddle is an ocean festival that includes races and demonstrations for all ages and skill levels. From beginners, to family and company relay teams, to high intensity elite competition, Battle of the Paddle is a showcase for the world’s fastest growing water sport.
The 2013 Rainbow Sandals Gerry Lopez Battle of the Paddle is proudly sponsored by: Riviera Paddleboards, Maui Jim Sunglasses, Kona Brewing Co., Patagonia, Clifbar, Hobie Surf Shop, Duke’s Restaurant, Northern Trust, Doheny State Beach Interpretive Association and the California State Parks.
