The Surf Race is designed for going in and out through the surf, with a flatter deck for easy foot movement and pivot turns.

It has an optimum foot spread for stability and comfort and sports the NEW's racing rocker for speed and glide, working well in a large variety of conditions.
The shallow single concave bottom increases speed when surfing bumps and swells.

This board was used by Nikki Gregg to win the Women's Open race at the 09 Battle of the Paddle. Compared to the NEW, the Surf Race is a more versatile and stable shape.

Rainbow Sandals Battle of the Paddle

October 3-4 2009

Race courses through open ocean including a ten mile distance contest-round trip from Dana Point to San Clemente and back-a multi-lap circuit through the breakers, around buoys, back to the beach. With divisions for all ages and abilities and a prize purse of over $25,000, this year's contest drew a huge field of competitors to Doheny State Beach from the East Coast and as far away as Australia, Hawaii and Puerto Rico. The international lineup in no way prevented local athletes from making a great showing and coming away with some of the best results of the weekend.

In the Distance SUP Brandi Baksic finished in the number one spot among the women with a time of 01:55:12. The Open Age Group race drew a huge field of 297 making for some difficult moments maneuvering through the surf with so many paddlers vying for the win.

The venue, complete with music, food, entertainment and a SUP Expo along with beautiful weather made for a perfect backdrop for the second installment of the Battle of the Paddle. The large crowd of spectators-and huge field of competitors-drawn by the event were testament to the growing popularity of the sport of SUP and-thanks to Rainbow Sandals-the proceeds raised will go on to benefit the Doheny State Beach Interpretive Association.
