What paddle racing is

Paddle races cover the paddlesports — kayak, canoe, stand-up paddleboard (SUP), and outrigger — on rivers, lakes, bays, and open ocean. Distances span short sprints to marathon-length races.

Events are often split by craft type, and sometimes by age or skill. Conditions like current, wind, and chop shape the race as much as the distance does.
