Free events for community to enter at Stand Up Surf King of the Cut
Get involved, feel the stoke
As preparations are made for Australia’s most prestigious Stand Up Paddle (SUP) race and the world’s fastest downwinder, the Stand Up Surf Shop King of the Cut, there’s still time for SUP enthusiasts to enter the free fringe events.
The governing body of SUP in Western Australia, SUPWA, has added three new events to the SUP festival surrounding the main race; the Express Two Storey Living Djeridjinap Run with Travis Grant and Terrene Black on 1st December, SUP Yoga on 2nd December and the SUPWA SUP Canal Tour also on 2nd December.
For SUPWA members, those events are free to enter. Anyone can become a SUPWA member for just $25 per year.
Stand Up Surf Shop King of the Cut Chairman Greg Kerr has encouraged SUP enthusiasts to take advantage of the free events.
“The idea behind these events is to encourage paddlers to get involved and as we say in the SUP community, ‘feel the stoke’,” Kerr said.
Kerr said that the events are not ‘learn to SUP clinics’ but aimed at those with paddling experience who would like to get more out of the sport.
“The Djeridjinap Run is a great opportunity for flatwater paddlers to learn downwind techniques from two world champions, Travis and Terrene. It’s a social paddle and an opportunity to gain some new skills and confidence downwinding,” Kerr said.
“We have the best conditions in the world for downwind SUP and we’d love to see more paddlers to take advantage of it.”
The Stand Up Surf Shop in North Fremantle is supplying specialist boards for SUP Yoga that are wider with a softer top.
- Free events for SUPWA members to enter; membership $25
- Express Two Storey Living Djeridjinap Run, 1st December
- SUP Yoga, 2nd December
- SUPWA SUP Canal Tour, 2nd December
- New additions to train next generation of downwind racers
