Intro to SUP Racing

SUP as a competitive sport? Yes! Join this clinic led by SUP Racer Kirsten Marina Lefeldt, who has competed worldwide and has lots of knowledge to share. Members from the Chicago SUP Racing team will be present as well, and will share their experience in the sport.

You will learn about the different race formats and what to know before signing up for your first race. The clinic will include a 60 minute clinic on the water to learn technique basics and will finish with a short fun race to let you experience what it feels like to go head to head with other racers. Only basic skills are required to participate (ability to stand up and perform basic turns).

Warning: You might get hooked and sign up for the next local race (October 5th at Columbia Yacht Club)!

After the clinic, for those interested, we will get coffee at Colectivo on Clark and further talk about all things SUP racing.
