“Don’t float through life- Paddle and make a difference!” -Paddlers For Humanity

KDHamptons loves to feature people who give back, so we were thrilled to hear about the Get-Up, Stand-Up Paddle Charity Race On Sunday, June 16,  in East Hampton!

Get your competitive juices flowing because the Stand Up Paddle charity event is a race! It starts at Beach Lane in Wainscott at 9 am, and paddlers head East toward Indian Wells Beach in Amagansett. For those of you who love surfing or haven’t tried this Hamptons fitness craze, Stand Up Padding is an easy way to have fun on a board……while getting a work out and a perfect tan!  The Paddle Diva of the Hamptons, Gina Bradley, shares, “It’s easy to learn, something you can do alone or with a group and if done frequently, gets you in great shape!” [For more info on the Paddle Diva and lessons, click here]

The event is sponsored by Main Beach Surf and Sport and all proceeds will go to Paddlers for Humanity. They are a non-profit based in East Hampton that raises money and awareness for local and global organization dedicated to bettering children’s lives (p4h.org).

The race is limited to 50 participants so sign up soon! Registration is $50 and will take place at the Main Beach Surf Shop starting at 7:30am on June 16. Race support will be provided by East Hampton Volunteer Ocean Rescue Squad.
