Anyone up for the challenge will run this 3-mile stretch of Gore Creek from East Vail to Vail Village SUP style. Competitors must stand strong because snow melt from the nearby Gore Range makes for icy waters while navigating the class II/III course. Mix in a handful of low bridges, drops and wave trains as paddlers battle it out in the SUP’ing of Gore Creek. Continue reading ‘Stand Up Paddle Surf Sprint race at the Teva Mountain Games’

Dear Friends,
It’s time again for a free clinic and board demo.
We are expecting a big turnout, so if you have a board, please bring your own and join the free clinic. If you are demoing boards, please don’t be greedy and limit your time per demo board to 10 minutes so everyone gets the chance to try different boards. We are planning to strictly enforce this rule and will remove offenders from the free demo.
