Coreban SUP Gear hosts first SUP event in South Africa along with top manufacturers , Naish, Starboard & Bilt allowing for a great fun family demo day & race event.

After months of cold fronts, planning an event in Cape Town in early Spring can be hit or miss but with a light offshore breeze, snow on top of table mountain and 4 ft waves; the Coreban team went all out and were blessed with a pefect day as riders flocked in from around Cape Town.

After 4 hours of demos and over 50 people trying the sport for the first time it was time for racing as the top riders took off around the island race with a Le mans start and sprint finish
