SUMMARY:Side Launch SUP Challenge hosted by Blu Wave Board Co.
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe Ontario SUP Series returns to Collingwood as part of Side Launch Days\, a harbourfront festival full of fun filled events. For a full list of activities please go to www.sidelaunchdays.ca. \nFor 2025 we are excited to announce that The Side Launch Challenge hosted by Blu Wave has once again been selected as Surf Canada’s SUP National Team Qualification event for the ISA World Championships.  Side Launch SUP Challenge will be a two day\, multi race event\, with Technical Race and Sprints on Saturday and a Distance Race on Sunday. \nThe Technical races have different distances according to the racer classification (Elite (8-10 km)\, Open (5-6 km)\, Novice (2.5 km) and Kids (<1km).  OUR NOVICE RECREATIONAL COURSE WILL BE a 1 lap course around Collingwood Harbour\, a perfect venue for your first race!  NEW FOR THIS YEAR\, WE HAVE REDUCED REGISTRATION FOR OUR NOVICE ADULT CATEGORIES TO $20 and all U18 NOVICE CATEGORIES WILL BE FREE!  All proceeds from our Novice registrations will be donated to Georgian Bay Forever\, an organization that conserves\, protects\, and restores the aquatic ecosystem of Georgian Bay\, conducting scientific research and coordinating actionable methods of environmental preservation. \nThe Sprint races have the same format as the ISA World Championships\, that is\, 4 racers compete head to head over a 200 M straightline course with the top 2 advancing to the next round. This is a very exciting format and the racers are looking forward to this event. Spectators will have ample opportunity to view the sprints along the Side Launch Basin. \nDuring the day there will be free demos at select times by Blu Wave and Starboard. \nOn Sunday morning the Distance race will be held from the same start line as the Technical Race on Saturday\, with the course being a beautiful scenic paddle out into Georgian Bay to Nottawasaga Island and back (approximately 12 km) for the Open Category\, and to Northwinds Beach and back for the Elite Category (approximately 20 km).  In the event that high winds deem this course too challenging\, we will alter the course to a downwind course from Delphi Point to Collingwood Harbour and the same start/finish line with W or NW winds. If we encounter E or SE winds we may elect to run our race from Wasaga Beach to Collingwood Harbour.  There is also the possibility\, due to forecast\, that we will run the distance race on Saturday and the Technical on Sunday if conditions are more conducive to do so. \nPlease note that Ontario SUP Series points for the overall series championships will be awarded for both the technical and distance races\, not the  overall standings for the weekend\, however we will be crowning overall champions in Elite and Open on Sunday.  Sprint results will not be included in overall for the weekend\, and will not be included in the overall series points standings.  Cash prizes will be up for grabs for the sprint races as well as for the overall champs in the Elite division (the ISA qualification division). \n;  \nPhotos: Warren Won \nSchedule of Events \nFriday:   \n7:00 pm – 8:30 pm – Social Paddle launching from Harbourview Park at the north terminus of Birch Street.  All local racers and those travelling to the area on Friday are welcome to join for a casual social paddle in the Harbour.  On hand will be some of our Elite Racers sponsored by Blu Wave SUP and Starboard who will be available for some informal instruction and racing strategy tips.  Friends and family are encourage to join us for the social paddle\, along with racers from all categories.  No pre-registration required. \nDirections to Birch Street Launch for Friday Social \nSaturday: \n9:00 – 10:30 On-site Registration and Check-in (PLEASE REVIEW PARKING SECTION BELOW FOR INSTRUCTIONS ON BOARD DROP OFF AND PARKING) \n10:30 Race Meeting – Technical \n11:00 Technical Race(s) \n13:00 Kids Race (FREE) <1km \n13:00  LUNCH – Included with Pre-registration by Aug 2nd and supplied by Brightside Deli! \n14:00 Sprint Race Meeting \n14:30 Sprint Races  \n17:00 – 19:30 Racers Reception and Day 1 Awards at SIDE LAUNCH BREWERY – We’re heading back to Side Launch Brewery for our racers social and awards.  Registered racers will receive a complimentary pour courtesy of Side Launch Brewery. \nClick here for directions \n  \nSunday: \nDistance Race (Open: 12 km\, Elite: 20 km): \nBoard Drop Off 7:30-8:00 (PLEASE REVIEW PARKING SECTION BELOW FOR INSTRUCTIONS ON BOARD DROP OFF AND PARKING) \n8:30 Race Meeting – Distance \n9:00 Distance Race Start (Open and Elite will be started in waves with Elite racers going off first) \n12:30 Awards \nNOTE:  In the event that we have high winds\, we will alter the Distance course to a downwind race from Delphi back to Collingwood Harbour in the event of W or NW winds\, or possibly Wasaga Beach to Collingwood with East winds. \nIMPORTANT!:  For added convenience for our racers\, the Town Of Collingwood has graciously arranged overnight security at the start/finish line.  Blu Wave and Starboard tents will remain up overnight\, and we have arranged for racers to have the option to leave their boards overnight on Saturday.  Note that the Ontario SUP Series accepts no liability for gear left overnight\, but we assure all racers that security will be on-site from 5pm on Sat to 8:00 am Sunday.
