The 2012 Paddle Royal is open for business!
It will feature racing in four classes: Badass (Elite/Professional), NotSoBadass (Elite/Not Professional), Weekend Warrior (Recreational competitors including Juniors) and Keiki (kids racers).
Here are some details:
Badass Class (Elite/Professional) – racing for $20,000 or more
NotSoBadass Class (Elite/Not Professional)
We listened to lots of feedback and talked about what is best for the sport and the event and decided to add this great class. It for the many local (and international) racers that train hard, get the right gear and want to test their skill vs the fastest racers in the World but they maybe just a few minutes per mile off the professionals. These guys and gals will paddle along side the pros in the epic long distance Around San Juan and will do 4 sprint races on Sunday. They will compete not only for the awesome handcrafted trophies but also for truly premium prizes from our sponsors.
Weekend Warrior Class (Recreational)
Keiki Class (Kids)
