Abu Dhabi All Stars Invitational

The Standup World Tour is making its inaugural stop in the United Arab Emirates for the Abu Dhabi All Stars Invitational this weekend.  Some of the top paddlers in the world will go head-to-head, paddle surfing in the unique Wadi Adventure wave pool and then racing in the standard world Series Sprint Racing format.  The wave pool will allow everyone to get perfect right, left, and closeout waves that are all consistent...every 90 seconds!

Although the time difference is 8 hours for us in West Michigan, you can check out the schedule on standupworldtour.com and you can view the live webcast at the link below.

Surftech Shootout at the Lane

The stage is set for one of the most exciting SUP events of 2013!  The Surftech Shootout and Surf & Sand Duel Race will feature many of the world's top SUP surfers and racers.

For those of you like me, however, who are stuck in the never ending "winter" of West Michigan, you can check out the LIVE WEBCAST during half time or between March Madness games.  The Webcast will begin at 11:00 AM (EST) on Saturday and continue through Sunday to cover all the action.
