Downwind Cup 2021

Date: May 1 to Sep 30
Distance: 12 km +

Course details: Point-to-point course, best done with a tailwind. This is an open-water race in spirit, which means lake/ocean with wind, rather than a river with current.

Meet the minimum distance requirement, but feel free to go longer. Results ranked by average pace (min/km). You can re-post better results during the race period.

Crazy hot day to get the paddle battle completed.
A swim at the end felt awesome. Not a breath of wind on the race course today. Great finish up to the virtual racing season. Thanks Paddlers Forum - CDN PDL LEAGUE for a fun summer of racing.

Nice one Chris Prince

Well done! And done! Congratulations Chris!💪

Amazing paddle today wind at my back ( just a touch), current flowing and crazy waves. Didn’t realize I could extend the 12 km. I stopped my watch the capture the 12km and continued on for a 17.52km paddle. Beautiful , every wave style you can think of. ... See MoreSee Less

First attempt at the Paddle Battle. Threw in an extra turn as I didn’t feel my bouy turn around the island was defined enough. Loads of wind by the time I got to that end of the lake.

Super fun. Thanks Canadian Paddle League
