The Paddleboard Championship has taken a place in the events leading up to the Orange Bowl. Funds received in the event are donated to Big Brothers Big Sisters of Miami and the kids have a chance to paddle one on one with some of the great paddlers competition in the event.
They ran two races including the Elite and Recreational courses shown below:

The seven mile Elite course, this day with winds from the SE at around 15 to 20 mph and a nasty chop. The racers really felt this on the long run to the south close to Rickenbacker Causeway.

The three mile Recreational race. They were more in the lee for parts of the race but it was still challenging all the same.
