We will be setting up at John Sheppard Park which is right across from the shop. The address here is 150 E. Columbia Lane, Cocoa Beach 32931. If there is no wind, then we will still do the run to Coconuts Bar and Grill with any vessel/vehicle you feel like using. Surfboards, SUPs, Landboard, inflatable whales...etc. Creativity will be awarded!!! If there is wind...then we will make the run a little longer and go to 13th St South. Flags will be up to show the stops and endpoints. Come hang out! We are planning on hanging out around 10am so try to make at least by noon if ya can. At 6:00 we will head to shop and give out the awards. We have some great prizes! Check the updated description below to see some of them. Then we will head to Sandbar for drinks, food and trouble.
