The oldest SUP Sprint Australia is on the 21st of May at Champion Lakes. Don't miss this opportunity to race over 3 distances - 200m, 1000m and 5000m. Combined times to decide overall age group winners.
Also the fastest paddler in Australia sprint - 200m. Will the National record get broken this year?
PaddleLoop around the main island at Champion Lakes. A great opportunity to paddle this sheltered lake and enjoy the SUPWA community. It's 4km and a 200m "fun run" - you nominate your time for both distances, closest to the nominated time wins!

Entry list so far
The Black Blade is on this weekend. The event and venue managers are confident that despite the forecast conditions the event will run. Champion Lakes is sheltered in SW winds and inland wind strength is always considerably less.
Here is the heat draw for the racing:
(Remember it is combined overall time for the age group champions - don't be late for registration)

Great racing on the weekend. Well done to event manager Geoff Bryant and his team for putting on a sensational event. The talk for next year is opening it up to all States as a warm up Sprint event for those going overseas for the European Tour. Great fun, challenging event and an awesome venue.
