SUPtastic Paddleboard Race Rescheduled Due to High Wind Advisory
June 17, 2016 – The Kitty Hawk Surf Company SUPtastic Paddleboard Race, scheduled for this Saturday, June 18, has been canceled due to a high wind advisory that is in effect on the Outer Banks from 11pm this evening until 7pm tomorrow. With 20-to-30 mph winds predicted, and forecasted gusts up to 45 mph, conditions will be unsafe for paddling.

SUPtastic is an annual event on the Manteo Waterfront featuring three- and six-mile races around Roanoke Island Festival Park, followed by lunch and awards at Avenue Waterfront Grille.

The June 18 Manteo event will now merge with SUPtastic 2.0 at Waves Village Watersports Resort in Rodanthe on Saturday, August 13. That race will feature an eight-mile down winder on the Pamlico Sound, as well as a family-friendly paddle with your dog, yard games, and more, followed by lunch and awards at Good Winds Restaurant.
