The Devil's Isle Challenge

Press Release / 25.04.2016

­The Devil's Isle Challenge is a two day paddling event in the heart of the Atlantic Ocean (27th - 30th May, 2016). Test your mettle against this 40-mile circumnavigation of Bermuda or sit back and enjoy the show at Somerset Bay, one of the most beautiful beaches in the world.

The Devil's Isle Challenge is open to displacement hull SUPs, prone paddleboards, surfskis, outrigger canoes,  canoes & kayaks.  Paddlers challenge the course solo or on a relay team.  For some this will be an opportunity to truly test their skill and strength, but for others this will be the adventure of a lifetime. And it's all for a good cause!

Proceeds go to a brand new paddling program set up by Plastic Tides to give any kid a chance to get out on the water all summer long. That's right, every week all summer, Bermudian kids ages 8-17 can join in the fun for free! On top of this the event is completely plastic-free and will have a focus on solutions to our single-use culture.

Want to be a part of the fun, but don't want to paddle around the island? Don't worry! While day one is committed to the circumnavigation, day two is filled with tons of other possibilities:

6-mile intermediate race with both displacement hull and surf-style classes.
1-mile kids race for ages 8-16 with raffle prize
tandem sprint tournament
music
beach cleanup
food and drinks
snorkeling
permaculture workshop
and more!

So don't miss out, this is gonna be a great time for the whole family!
