What’s on the Water
The SUP Nationals weekend includes:
Sprint races that put explosive speed to the test over short distances.
Technical races that challenge athletes with buoy turns and strategy.
Longer distance events that reward pacing, endurance and strength.
This format mirrors a growing trend towards combined racing programs that value versatility as well as specialised speed — making the Paddle Australia SUP Nationals a key event on the domestic calendar ahead of international competitions later in the season.
