News & Updates
V-SUP Series Race 2 now open!
This week it’s a 4km race, and you can do the distance any time before Sunday night, wherever you are in New Zealand (or overseas – Kiwi expats are welcome to enter too). All you need is a GPS tracker watch or phone app, and a round-trip paddle of approximately the right distance (it doesn’t have to be exact), that you can complete, with the same start and finishing point. This is vital, to negate any significant current/wind/tide advantages.
You can compete on any board – there are divisions for each board type. THERE WILL BE SPOT PRIZES THIS WEEK! And don’t worry if you missed last week, this is just Race 2 of the 10-race series so there is plenty of time yet to log the 6 results required to be eligible for overall series rankings.

V-SUP Series Race 1 Results
A great start to the V-Series, with 40 entrants from all over New Zealand, 6 different regions represented in total, spanning all age groups and nearly all the board fleets too!
Ferg Dunlop and Pip Gaensicke are leading the fleet in Auckland, while top paddler Matt Anderson has relocated to Northland for this series and is setting the pace there, and Quenton Johnston and Karyn Finlayson are out front in Otago. Other standouts include Scott Keon, leading the Senior Masters division overall, Ron Oranje leading the Veterans and Mike Burgess the Super Veterans, while at the other end of the age scale it’s Harry Beggs in the U12s and Rosara Davis in the U14s. The Masters and Senior Masters divisions are definitely the most hotly contested, with a dozen or more entrants in each, making for a great opportunity for paddlers around the various regions to see how they stack up against each other.
Check out the full results at www.sup.org.nz/v-sup-series-1-race-1-results/
And start planning for race 2! This one will be 4km, and there will be spot prizes. Remember, your overall series results will be based on your top 6 results in the 10 race series, consistent across region and fleet. So if you think you might fare better racing in a different board class (or indeed relocate to another region, lockdown levels permitting of course!), then you still have plenty of time to do it.
And let’s see a whole lot more entries for race 2! Look at all those age/fleet/regional honours not being claimed. Tell your friends, get all your paddling crew involved, even if they’re not competitive by nature.
Race 2 entries will open later today.
