Starboard SUP are offering the chance to win a stunning Tiki Tech paddle (one for fastest male, one for fastest female) at the NWF in a one-design SUP time trial. Starboard team riders such as 11-Cities Tour & Paris Crossing winner Marie Buchanan will be on hand both to pass on expert advice to competitors and to run the timing.

 One competitor at a time, with a simple beach start, a frantic 50m dash out to sea, one buoy turn and a sprint back to shore, the competition will be over in the blink of an eye. Times will be recorded on a “Top Gear” style leaderboard and the winners announced at Sunday’s final prize-giving. Anyone registered for the NWF is welcome to give it a go (no racing experience necessary).

 So are YOU ready to challenge for the title of Starboard NWF SUP Sprint Supremo 2014?
