Time to start getting excited: The Quiksilver Waterman Collection’s Waikiki Paddle Festival is just over a week away!

SUPracer will be on location, bringing you all the action live from Waikiki, including coverage of the epic new “Survivor” SUP race.

If you’ve been living under a rock and haven’t heard about the new Survivor format, then watch below as Jamie Mitchell chats about this new type of stand up paddle race. It’s basically the Waikiki Paddle Festival’s own take on the “Elite Race”.

Make sure you’re following SUPracer so you get all the latest updates, interviews, pics and videos direct from Waikiki.

Thanks to SUP Magazine for the clip.
