Paddle Round The Pier Race - Sunday 4th July 2010
On Sunday the 4th July 2010, in Brighton, BSUPA in conjunction with Errant Surf and Paddle Round the Pier, will be holding a BSUPA national series race.
The BSUPA 2010 series is starting to hot up and with this being the third event in the series the rankings are starting to take shape, with four events left there is still time for it all to change. We are back at Brighton for another Paddle Round the Pier, but for the first time this race will count in the 2010 series. The race will be the same as last year where we start off to the right of West Pier, paddle out past the pier, then head to Palace Pier and race back again.
