Issue date
A foursome of Olympic class sailors, past and present, will take to their stand up paddle boards on Saturday 27th October for the 2012 Starboard Paddle for Hope - an annual charity fundraiser festival of Stand Up Paddle Boarding (SUP) devised by breast cancer survivor Karin Horen.
Dubbed the Real Sailors - Andrew ‘Hurricane Force’ Brown, Marcus ‘Mad Dog’ Hansen, James ‘the Terminator’ Turner and JP ‘Twin Turbo’ Tobin will hit the water at Auckland Viaduct going up against other teams including an Emirates Team New Zealand entry in a fun relay race.
An Introductory SUP Clinic kicks things off at midday with Warmup and Yoga on Steps or SUPs, followed by the team relay race where the teams entered (maximum 50 teams) will battle it out on the water.
All for a good cause the Starboard Paddle for Hope event raises awareness and funds for the New Zealand Breast Cancer Foundation. You can donate and support the Real Sailors.
