Ocean Minded is sponsoring a weekend of water activities at benefiting Susan G. Komen for the Cure. Festivities kick off on Saturday, May 4th with Standup For The Cure’s second annual fundraising event at Newport Dunes in Newport Beach, California. Last year, it raised over $60,000, and this year it spans from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. and will feature a 5K Pink Fleet Fun Paddle for paddlers of all ages and abilities, a SUP clinic, a yoga paddleboard clinic, free cancer screenings from specialists from UCI Cancer Center, live musical entertainment from the Wheeland Brothers and Crimson Crowbar, food and drinks from Ruth’s Chris Steak House, Kona Brewing Company and Barefoot Wine, an exhibitors expo, as well as a live and silent auction.
The Performance Paddling Junior Pro and Youth SUP Fiesta will wrap up the weekend on Sunday, May 5th at Bolsa Chica State Beach in Huntington Beach, California. The event’s proceeds will also be donated to Standup For The Cure and the Orange County Affiliate of Susan G Komen for the Cure and will feature the first ever “kids only” surf race sanctioned by the World Paddle Association (WPA), as well as a Junior Pro Sup Surf Invitational, SUP surfing competition for 17 and under and a $5,000 cash prize purse.
