The 7th Annual Surftech Shootout presented by SUP the Mag and in conjunction with the 29th Annual Santa Cruz Paddlefest returns to Santa Cruz, California March 13-15th. This three-part event features many of the greatest names in SUP surfing doing battle at the world famous Steamer Lane. In addition to the SUP surfing action at ‘,The Lane’,, there is also the SUP/Prone Race on Cowells Beach where competitors will race along the picturesque Santa Cruz Wharf, Santa Cruz Boardwalk and the cliffs of Santa Cruz’,s west side. The third ‘,bullet’, in the Surftech Shootout chamber is the Cowells SUP Classic which takes place on the gentle right point break located just down the point from Steamer Lane.
With all of the SUP surfing and racing action it’,s no wonder that the Surftech Shootout has earned the reputation as one of the wildest events of the year!

I’,m looking forward to competing in both the race and surf categories this year and hopefully challenge for the overall title! Cannot wait!”,
