Ballard Elks Paddle Club Summer Race Series
Race details
See the Facebook event page and discussion here (all particpants must register on Webscorer, RSVP'ing on Facebook is not sufficient to partipate)
The Mandatory Skippers Meeting will be at 6:30pm in the parking lot. Race starts at 7:00pm. All paddlers must wear a PFD, and SUPs must use leash. Prone boards are the only exception.
The race course will be announced no later than 9am the morning of the race and will be open to paddlers of all skill levels. Course varies according to conditions and may change at the skippers meeting at the discretion of the organizers.
Heats will be assigned at the Skippers Meeting and are used to organize the racers into more managable groupings. You choose your heat at check-in, ask the race organizer for more info.
Wave1 - Full race course, typically the faster paddlers and a more competitive experience
Wave2 - Full race course, starting a few minutes after Wave 1
FunWave - A separate, shorter course
