SURFTECH SHOOTOUT 2013
It started in 2008 as an “Expression Session”. Since then the Surftech Shootout has quickly become one of the most competitive and prestigious SUP surf events in the world.
March 22-24th many of the world’s top SUP surfers will once again converge upon the historic surf town of Santa Cruz, California and battle it out at the legendary Steamer Lane.
This premier international SUP surf event includes many U.S. and International Professional Athletes including two time Shootout Champion, CHUCK PATTERSON, 2011 Shootout champ, ZANE SCHWEITZER, female sensation CANDICE APPLEBY, 2012 Shootout champion MATT BECKER, San Clemente ripper ANTHONY VELA and Hawaiian young gun SLATER TROUT along with local rippers and more. We expect the Elite Field will be the deepest and most competitive to date drawing SUP surfers from all over the globe.
SURFTECH COWELLS SUP CLASSIC - NEW EVENT FOR 2013!!
Beginner and intermediate SUP surfers from up and down the coast will compete for trophies, prizes and bragging rights at the long lined up walls of Cowells. The Cowells SUP Classic is a great opportunity for beginner and intermediate SUP surfers to surf Cowells all to themselves and test their skills against their fellow SUPers!
This event will take place on Saturday, March 23rd and is sure to be great fun for all racing enthusiasts. The Duel SUP Race will commence at Cowell’s Beach with a 2.7 mile paddle out to the Santa Cruz Harbor and back followed by a short beach sprint. This will be the finish for the SHORT COURSE division while the LONG COURSE paddlers will head back out on the water for the final 3.7 mile paddle leg and finishing up with a short sand sprint to the finish. Both male and female “ELITE” athletes will be paddling in the 12’6″ Long Course division.
