Charleston Area 2013 SUP Race & Event Calendar

Here are some of the events going on in the Charleston area in 2103, so put them on your calendar and start training (or just come for the social aspect).  If you are new to Stand Up or have never raced before, come out!  Races are a great way to meet new people to paddle with and push yourself to a new level.  There are always categories for beginners as well as experienced.

I compiled this list from some messy notes, so if there are any change, additions or mistakes, please let me know.
