This past weekend, BOTE Team Rider, Ethan Luppert, grabbed his 12’6″ Wraith SS and made his way down to Cocoa Beach, FL for the 1st Space Coast Paddle Blast, presented by Paddle Style What’s Yours?
This two day event was for both traditional and stand up paddleboards. The feature event was on Saturday and consisted of an 8.5 mile Elite division race (which was shortened to a 6.8 mile due to conditions) awarding $4,000 in prize money; $3,000 for SUP divisions and $1,000 for traditional divisions. There was also a 2 mile Short Course Race.
The Awards ceremony was held at Milliken’s Reef Restaurant, Port Canaveral, where Ethan accepted the 2nd place price for the Elite 12’6″ division.
