Paddlefest Nelson 2023

Paddlefest was created with the idea to celebrate and share this amazing location that we call Paddletown (Nelson). The aim is to get different paddle-craft on the water for some racing (distance and sprints), relays and fun. There are social events mixed in as well and a chance to swap craft and have a go on surf skis, SUP or whatever else turns up !

.

It’s run by our good friends at Nelson SUP Club with Tahunanui Beach resident weather-man Toby Wild usually manning the loudhailer down at the surf line.

Paddlefest is a small craft event so single and double waka only. If you haven’t yet raced in a single or double this is a great chance to do so in a fun and safe environment.
