Inspired by 2 x Breast Cancer Survivor and co-founder of Paddle For Hope, Karin Horen

The Paddle For Hope 11'6" X 29.5" Touring board is an ideal board for anyone getting into SUP for fitness, rehabilitation or exploring, and a percentage of all Paddle for Hope board sales go towards helping others all over the world with their recovery.

Fast and stable design with great tracking.
Shaped thicker to create more pop and acceleration.
Mono concave bottom for that light feel through the water.

THE STARBOARD PADDLE FOR HOPE EVENT WAS STARTED BY STARBOARD NEW ZEALAND BACK IN 2011 WITH TWO TIMES BREAST CANCER SURVIVOR KARIN HOREN (THE FACE OF PADDLE FOR HOPE), VICTORIA STUART AND A TEAM OF AMAZING VOLUNTEERS AS A WAY TO FUNDRAISE, BUT ALSO TO PROMOTE THE IMPORTANCE OF EXERCISE IN WELLBEING.

THE FEEL-GOOD FACTOR OF ACTIVELY RAISING MONEY TOGETHER WITH YOUR FRIENDS & FAMILY AND PARTICIPATING IN A FUN FANCY DRESS EVENT ON THE WATER WAS A MAGIC COMBINATION, AND OVER THE YEARS THE EVENT HAS RAISED ALMOST $400,000 IN NEW ZEALAND FOR CANCER REHABILITATION (WITH THE NZBCF AND PINC AND STEEL CANCER REHABILITATION TRUST).

Today, the Paddle For Hope event is a fundraising vehicle for the PaddleOn Program which helps cancer patients in their recovery from cancer and cancer treatment by combining paddle boarding and Physiotherapy – learn more about the amazing PaddleOn Program in the article by Lou James here
