Pura Vida Paddle Battle Will Be a Rewarding Ride

Pura Vida Stand Up Paddle Race (2012)

PLAYA DANTA, Costa Rica - The 3rd Annual Pura Vida Paddle Battle is back and set for June 1, 2013. ·It will be the biggest and most rewarding event they have ever had!

Pura Vida has leveled the playing field for 2013 so that everyone has a chance to win the overall prize – a $2,500 Surftech Jamie Mitchell Lahui Kai 12’6 Race Standup Paddle Board!  This is the same model board that was used to win the 2012 Paddle Battle, and this year it can be yours!

The racing will be based on a point system.  For one fee of $40.00 / CRC 20,000, competitors can participate in as many races, or as few races, as they would like.  The more races you compete in, the more chances you have to win points.  At the end of the day, the competitor with the most points wins the SUP!

To win will take strategy, not pure strength, skill, or a fast board.  Some may choose to compete in every race, or pick just one race that they are best at.  The choices and strategies are endless and will require training and forethought to have the best possible chance of winning the most points.

Thanks to the generous and loyal sponsors, Pura Vida 2013 is also giving prizes to the top 3 winners in every category!  Not only will racers win Camelbaks, Smith Sunglasses, Rip Curl Watches, Lola’s Gift Certificates, Chums, Beyond Coastal Sunscreen and Pura Vida Ride gear, but will also earn points toward winning the Grand Prize Surftech Lahui Kai.

Mark your calendars and join the fun!
