The 2013 Surftech Shootout and Surf & Sand Duel SUP Race hit Steamer Lane in Santa Cruz this weekend, with two days of SUP racing, SUP surfing and general SUP shenanigans in store.

Many of California’s finest will be on show, and best of all the whole thing will be webcast live right here on SUPracer.com all weekend, via the crew at SUP Connect. So keep reading for more info and to find out when (and what) you can watch…

The action will be happening @ The Lane from Friday through Sunday, though the webcast will be running on the weekend and really the main action for us is on Saturday 23rd, when the Surf & Sand Duel SUP Race takes centre stage.

The Surf & Sand Duel SUP Race will be like a hardcore version of the BoP, at least if the waves come to town. A couple of years ago there were some classic pics out of this race, when a solid swell made it a battle of survival more than anything.

This year there’s nothing quite as crazy predicted swell wise, but there still should be 3-4 foot waves rolling through the point on Saturday and keeping things fairly interesting.

So if you want to see some of the finest SUP racers in action, check back here on SUPracer.com 8am Saturday morning (California time) for the LIVE WEBCAST stream. Here’s the full schedule…
