SUP Races

[John R Hampton]

Two weeks ago when I was just learning how to use some new gear, I went down to the main Hollywood Beach front to see what was going on.  To my surprise there were lots of people and colorful tents involved in some kind of activity near the shoreline.  It turned out to be Margaritaville Cup 2016, the resort's first Stand Up Paddle Board (SUP) races.

I started filming without any understanding of the event or practical knowledge with the camera.  In the end, most of the footage was useless for a variety of reasons, however I salvaged just a bit to give an idea of what the races were like.

Before viewing the short 50 second clip here’s their official website (actually gave out $10,000 in cash prizes):

If I come back next year and there’s a Margaritaville Cup 2017 I’ll do a better job of documenting the whole thing.
