SUPWA is stoked to open registrations for our annual Bridge the Bank race to be held on Sunday morning October 26 on the banks of the beautiful Swan River.
The Bridge to Bank is our annual community event aimed at all paddlers who desire to give racing a go in a fun environment.
Don't have a race board? That's ok, as we have made it a 'handicap event' that will be determined by the combined board lengths and completion times.
This gives everyone a chance of winning, no matter what size board you choose to use collectively.
The Bridge to Bank is a fun mixed pair's race with the men starting at Narrows Bridge and paddling the 8km to Pt Walter. From there, you tag your female paddling partner, who then paddles the 5km last leg of the race to Stirling Bridge for the finish.
The course can be reversed if needed, depending on the wind direction on the morning.
At the completion of the race, we are having presentations and pizza at Salt, on Port Beach. Bring your family & friends along.
If you don't have a have a sup partner, that's ok, please let us know & we will match you up.
Registration: Bib number and briefing at 0800 sharp (even if you entered online you need to attend this breifing to get your number). Meet your partner at the Narrows for the briefing then they can drive to Pt Walter Spit for the next leg.
Division: Mixed division only
DATE 26-10-2014 TIME 08:00 - 12:00

Entries are starting to roll in for the Bridge the Bank, it's a great fun event.
If you want to enter but don't have a partner, PM me and I will try to pair you up with a paddler.
Gotta be my favorite event of the season. Great vibe from start to finish to after party!
Great opportunity for single men & single lady paddlers to be paired for the race.
Could be the start of something called paddling
Conditions are looking like we will have a breeze at our back with the Fremantle leg starting first. Confirmation of course direction closer to the event.
Get those entries in, will be a good day of paddling.
Whats the cut off for entries? I may or may not be working that day and won't be able to confirm till later in the week.
Also who is the contact for pairing paddlers, may have a couple of country paddlers looking to attend who are dateless at thsi stage
Hey Juddy a leg rope is the only requirement mate.Personal preference if you wish to also wear a pfd.
Spewing that I am going to miss this event, it has got to be one of the funnest events to do. Might just have to come down and socialise with everyone at the end.
Just saw that 10 teams are entered so far. Conditions are looking good - not too windy and race director Luke Jenkins will pick the best direction on the day for an easy paddle.
Don't need a race board, really good fun - get your sister, your wife, your girlfriend into SUP for the day!
Hi Goochi. Are team names available? I needed to be partnered up so not sure if that is sorted yet?
Want to think about logistics of boards and cars etc.
We still require female paddlers to complete some teams.
this event is a great introduction into competing.
come on ladies give it a go
