What is the Cayman Islands Rum Run SUP Race? “SUP” or Stand Up Paddleboard is probably the hottest new trend in Cayman. Here in Cayman, where calm, glassy seas are the norm and the lifestyle is sun, sea and sand, SUP is the perfect sport! Whether you are a weekend warrior, beginner,  or pro it is truly the perfect way to keep fit and enjoy the water.

For the first time this year, thanks to Waterman, the Cayman Islands is hosting the Cayman Islands Rum Run SUP Event, to take place 19-20 January 2013.

19th January – Day 1 is the North Sound Challenge, a distance SUP race starting from Rum Point and continuing across Grand Cayman’s North Sound (roughly 7 miles). It’s the first event of it’s kind here in Cayman and beginning to make waves internationally in the SUP circles. Events planned for the day include board demos, Paddleboard Yoga and prize giving and raffle.

Charter Cayman is a proud sponsor of the North Sound Challenge Saturday 19 January and are giving away VIP tickets to one lucky winner and up to 7 of their friends aboard the Charter Cayman “Rum Runner”. Starting at 1pm, Cruise over to Rum Point in style on one of our boats, where you will enjoy Seven Fathoms rum punch (all you can drink) and beers by Miller Lite. Be front and center for all of the action aboard your own private boat! We will have the perfect vantage point for the start of the race, and follow the paddleboarders all the way to the finish line. The only way you can get this close is to actually take part!
