Winners Announced for the 2nd Annual Five Flags Paddleboard Classic

 Global Surf News Brought to you by Quiver Kaddy , 26 April, 2013 : – – Pensacola, Florida: 109 dedicated standup paddleboard racers battled beautiful but cool and windy conditions at Coastal Paddle Company’s 2nd Annual Five Flags Paddleboard Classic at The Grand Marlin on Pensacola Beach on Saturday, April 20th. The event featured a 1 mile race, a 3 mile race and a 1 mile kids fun race with courses slightly modified due to the water conditions in the Santa Rosa Sound.

Additionally, $3,450 was raised for The Eagle Fund of the Andrews Institute Foundation via a raffle of a 2013 YOLO Board Original Sea Turtle standup paddleboard.
