#APPFastTrack – Racing Format
The APP has created a virtual leaderboard where you will be competing for the SUP Racing World Title in speed. This is your opportunity to see how fast you can really go and how you stack up against the rest of the world. Entry rules;
1. Entry opens 1st July and closes 31st August, 2020.
2. Entrants must paddle 50 metres, aiming for the fastest possible top speed.
(Find the flattest possible water – no downwind, running rivers, no foils and you must start sitting down).
3. Have someone film your 50m sprint and track your speed with a GPS watch, phone app or similar.
4. Upload your video and a screen shot of your top speed to your Instagram account and #APPFastTrack alongside #Unsponsored if you’re not seeded on the APP World Tour.
