Come join Rainbow Sandals and Gerry Lopez for the fifth year anniversary of the stand-up paddle phenomenon “Battle of the Paddle”. This year’s event is set for September 29 & 30, 2012 on the famous shores of Doheny State Beach in beautiful Dana Point, California.

This year, the Battle of the Paddle, is expecting over 1,000 entries from around the globe. SUP athletes will be racing for over $25,000 in cash & prizes (the largest on offer in the sport of SUP). Racers will also be taking part in two new Guinness World Record attempts. The first one on Saturday, to set the record for “the world’s largest paddleboard race” and on Sunday, trying to break the existing record for “most surfers riding a single wave” (currently 110 surfers in Cape Town, SAF, 2009).

The Rainbow Sandals Gerry Lopez Battle of the Paddle is an ocean festival that includes races and demonstrations for all ages and skill levels. From beginners, to family and company relay teams, to high intensity elite competition, Battle of the Paddle is a showcase for the world’s fastest growing water sport.
