So...
What board can I use to race?
Well, (almost) anything goes as long as it's inflatable!
We have three board classes:
Over 13'
Under 13'
Under 11'
Got an Allstar? Bring it along 😀
Got your board from the middle isle at your local supermarket? You'll be in good company.

Just make sure it floats 😅

(Thanks to Paul Todd for the video from a few years ago at the Holme Pierrepont whitewater course - It's proof that the race organisers do occasionally get their feet wet and go paddling!)
