Tuesday Night SUP'r Stand Up Paddleboard Race Results



After 3 weeks of races, we are finally getting results posted. Lesson learned, here, get more volunteers! If you would like to be involved in communications, please give us a shout.

The Tuesday Night SUPr race series is a 1.5 mile sprint from Seacrest Marina in West Seattle to the Duwamish Head Channel Marker. This unique race incorporates cold water Puget Sound with gire rips, boat wake, and wind waves. Fast paddlers will need to show their skill with balance, surf ability, and poise..

Every Tuesday Night we also incorporate a free SUP demo for people to try out the sport and different models of boards. We have 12-20 ppl per night, so it has been a good way for people to check it out.

June 15th: First Race of Tuesday Night SUPr. Great turnout from Jeff Underwood (Riviera and local enthusiast) and Trevor Gregson (C4 Rep and cool cat from Hood River). The only 2 racers are myself, and Jeff. Calm Water.
