Go For Gold With The iROCKER SUP Olympics!

Rumor has it SUP racing may be included as an Olympic sport in 2028. So we’re starting our training now. 

Ready to get in on the action and celebrate the kickoff of the 2024 Summer Olympics? Dive in with these fun ideas for adding a bit of competition to your SUP sessions! 

SUP RACES 

Duh. This one is obvious – race from point A to point B on your boards and see who gets there this fastest. But there’s so many ways to up the ante and add fun to a standard race! 

  • Make it an obstacle course: circle buoys, navigate around trees, paddle under docks—make it as hard or long as you like!  
  • Make it a relay race: things get even more exciting when you’re cheering on your teammates 

SUP TENNIS 

Tennis, pickle ball, whatever you want to call it! All you need is two rackets/paddles and a ball. Spread out on your SUPs and see how many hits you can get back and forth across the water. Take it to the next level and play doubles. Bonus points if you can get someone on the other team to take a fall into the water! 

FENCING 

Got pool noodles lying around? You’re ready for SUP fencing. Try to knock your competition off their board (in the gentlest way possible – we’re all friends here) using your pool noodle.  

DIVING 

Think of your SUP as your Olympic diving platform, only a lot closer to the water—phew. Choose a judge or judges and give each competitor a score. Add difficulty by diving for an object or being the first to swim back to shore.  

Tally up everyone’s scores from the day and enjoy some hard-earned snacks and drinks during the awards ceremony! 

Have your own game you love to play on your SUP? We want to hear about it! Email us at marketing@irocker.com or tag us on Instagram @irockersup
