4 RACE GUIDELINES AND RULES 1. START Le Mans style start north of start flag. Paddle against wall. Board lined up by water. One team member lies face-down on sand, feet touching board. On start-gun run to grab your paddle then run back to your board. Pick up the board and run into water 2. PADDLE in a clockwise direction once around buoys. Come in to the transition area on the beach south of start flag. (Team members caddy board back to start transition north of flag if you race solo you can ask others to caddy your board or do it yourself) 3. OBSTACLES Run around southern beach flag in clockwise direction and off to your first obstacle (be clever and avoid bottlenecks). - Choose the order in which you complete obstacles. - Choose which obstacles each team member takes on. i) Collect a coloured band from course marshall on completion of each land-based obstacle. ii). Complete one stand up paddle lap between each obstacle. 4. REPEAT until all 7 coloured bands are collected then one of your team does the last paddle (Lap 8). Team must run across finish line together with paddle and board. 5. RELAY The relay baton is your superhero cape. Only one team member can be wearing the cape and competing at a time, in relay format. You can pass the baton and tag another team member to take over at any time or place on the course. If swapping out on the Ultimate Boards Balance Challenge the timer must be restarted. Any other challenge you can continue where the last team-member stopped. 6. Children under 10 can paddle tandem, or on a board by themselves, but need to be accompanied around the buoys by a grown up and wear a PFD. Adults can paddle tandem too if they wish. - The main aim of the race is to have FUN. Work together as a team to conquer the challenges the fastest. - Medals will be awarded to mixed teams, mens teams, womens teams and family/mixed age teams - Course is designed to be completed in one hour or less - One board per team. All team members must paddle the same board (unless a child under 10 is also paddling). - The board can be of any shape, size or design.
