The 2017 Waterman’s Challenge (held June 3-4) continued the tradition of good weather, waves and vibes this year. We squeaked in two good days between two weeks of daily rain and were blessed with a surfable swell all weekend. Everyone from groms to geezers to Surfriders had divisions to compete in and the competition was friendly but fierce. The Florida State Paddleboard Championship, held on Saturday morning, was very competitive as well with a good representation of craft from race SUP’s to surfski’s. After the trophies were awarded on Sunday everyone was ready to do it again next year. A big mahalo to all the competitors and volunteers that always make this such a fun event.
