Support this event! May 5-7 2017. The Devil’s Isle Challenge. A multi-day paddling event in the heart of the Atlantic Ocean. Part adventure race, part family friendly event, part fundraiser; come test your mettle against this 40-mile circumnavigation of Bermuda or sit back and enjoy the show at Snorkel Park Beach, one of the most beautiful beaches in the world.
Not only is this an opportunity for a grand adventure, but it also gives back. Proceeds from the race go to the SUP'r Kids Bermuda paddling program. Here at Plastic Tides, we strongly believe the future of our oceans depends on fostering the next generation of ocean warriors. Our solution?...SUP.

Video | Single-Bamboo Drifting in Rural China | SUP Magazine

Forget SUPing, I'm buying some bamboo!

Rural China's sport of single bamboo drifting is similar to SUP...sort of: http://bit.ly/29eAogh

A tradition of rich heritage in China's Red River Basin, bamboo drifting is a tremendous display of balance that bears uncanny similarities to standup paddling.
