The Friends of the St. Croix East End Marine Park are excited to announce the 1st Annual Stand Up Paddle Board Race for the St. Croix East End Marine Park. The event is taking place on Sunday, September 4th, 2011 at the St. Croix Yacht Club. All proceeds from the event will be put directly towards achieving the mission of the St. Croix East End Marine Park.

Stand Up Paddle Boarding, commonly known as SUP is an easy and fast growing sport worldwide. With a growing USVI community of SUP-ers and the sports' low impact, this is an ideal event to introduce to St. Croix. Join us for a fun filled day.
