us back at Holme Pierrepont for some good oldfashioned head-to-head racing . Numbers for this event are very limited so as usual , keep an eye on our social media platforms for a release date later in the year to register .
Race classes remain the same with 14 ’, 12 ’ 6 , N1SCO and prone and the racing is definitely for everybody with age prizes to aspire to – Juniors , Seniors , Masters , Veterans and Grand Kahunas .
We would love to say to any new paddlers or racers , please do come and get involved , don ’ t be shy – we were all beginners once and had the same feelings you might have – GBSUP pride themselves on welcoming ALL so please feel free to contact us or any member of the team and ask any question you like .
Check our website for all the rules and FAQ ’ s on the race series : www . gbsup . co . uk
On 30th April 2021 , GBSUP will release details of host venue applications for 2022 .
Something new for 2021
There will be a National Series Overall Team Trophy – every member of your team who races get points , the better they perform the more points they will receive . Every member of your team that enters the Challenge Tour will receive an equal number of points ( just for entering , not performing ). These points will be added up over each race and at the end of the whole season , the team with the most points will get the trophy and will go into the GBSUP Hall of Fame .
The Challenge Tour
All the pleasure without the pain – this is for those paddlers who wish to participate in the event without racing , they can paddle the same course just for fun or to challenge themselves . You may be new to racing , not be competitive or even coming back from injury – this could be the perfect thing for you . You will be properly looked after and encouraged on the course by the lovely Mike who heads up the Challenge Tour .
