Sunday will it be possible to participate in SUP lessons.
Racecourse
The racecourse of the event will be a traditional M-course with a beach run. The race will start with a beach start approximately 20 meters from the water. Then they will have to race 100 meters out to the first buoy and make a right turn towards the beach. As they reach the beach, they will have to do a left turn around the flag running with the board. Now again, they must race about 100 meters out to the 2nd buoy making another right turn and then racing back in, leaving the board at the beach, only finishing with the paddle.
Heats
Every heat will be 4-5 people. From each heat 2 people will move on to the next round. In the first round there is no elimination, the best 2 will move on to the 2nd round, and the last 2 will move to the repechage. From repechage the top 2 will move to 2nd round and the last 2 will be eliminated. The same procedure will follow the rest of the competition. The numbers moving on or eliminating can change after the numbers of people participating.
Seating in the heats will be decided on previous heat placement and then based on the previous heat time. The exception of this rule will happen in the first round, where there will be a random chosen seating.
Example: there will be 2 heat winners and 2nd heat places in each heat of 4. The fastest time of the heat winner will be seated first, the 2nd heat winner will be seated 2nd, then it will be the same procedure for 3rd and 4th seating between the 2 previous 2nd places. A 2nd place can never be seated higher than 1st, even with a faster previous heat time.
