Clear Water Outdoor (CWO) presents the 3rd Annual SUP Midwest Masters National Saturday, July 7th ,at the Riviera Beach in Lake Geneva, WI. This is not just a race; it’s a celebration. The event includes an all day event of Stand-Up Paddleboard (SUP) inspired activities and demos. We will have 3 races: a , a recreational short race and a long race, and elite long race. The Long Race will have elite categories with cash prizes. The courses we have are for all ages and skill levels. There will be music by local bands and equipment demos. We will have a raffle, with all proceeds going to Lake Geneva Water Safety Patrol.
The family-friendly event is open to the public. “One of our original goals at Clear Water Outdoor is supporting our community. We also believe in getting people of all ages and all abilities active and outdoors. One of the best ways is with SUP; it’s fun for all age ranges and experience levels,” explains Dave Schuster, co-founder of Clear Water Outdoor. “We’re really excited about the expansion of the race portion of the event this year, trying to get more racers in the Midwest. Also just celebrating everyone that comes out and gets active and on the lake.”
Contigiency Back up day July 8th. The Midwest Masters is a offical sanctioned event of the World Paddle Association (WPA) and is part of the Great Lakes Regional series. That means any athlete could receive points to qualify for the Hennessey’s International Championship (must be WPA member). The Masters has also been designated as our region’s national points race (for elite racers, who are WPA members), meaning paddlers can receive points toward the national title, as well as points for the Midwest Championship Series.
