Changes in the event of adverse weather conditions
In the event of very large waves or other adverse weather conditions, the sea-race will be cancelled and participants should bring their running shoes to take part in the ‘Paddle dry feet’ sand-race instead.
If there is too little wind, windsurfers and kitesurfers can choose to paddle/stand-up paddle in the ‘Paddle non-stop’ (please note that there are only limited boards available), or alternatively change from your wetsuit to your running shoes and take part in our ‘Paddle dry feet’ sand- race!
