From the Organizer

Join us in the Pacific Northwest this summer for an epic 17-mile endurance challenge, SUP racing through the heart of the Columbia River Gorge. Starting at Home Valley and finishing in the protected waters of Bingen Harbor, paddlers will experience what is arguably the most consistent downwind run on the planet.

While Mother Nature never gives a 100% guarantee, this race is strategically timed during the peak of the season to maximize our chances for world-class bumps. Don’t miss your chance to race in one of the most iconic stretches of water in the world!
