May Race Information

In May, when the fresh greenery is dazzling, SUP races are held all over the country.

From Team KOKUA, Natsumi Baba will be competing in the "KERAMA BLUE CUP" to be held in Zamami, Okinawa on May 17th.
The hardboard class, which disappeared due to the COVID-19 pandemic, will finally be revived this year.

The waters of Zamami are some of the clearest in the world. I can't wait to see the pure white FLY PRO racing through that blue water.

In addition to this, various SUP races are scheduled across the country, from leisure to competitive.
Check out the schedule and enjoy this season in your own style, whether you choose to participate or watch.
