Board the Fjord is Deep Cove's Premier Stand Up Paddleboard Event. We
have a full day of racing and festivities in beautiful Deep Cove and Indian Arm.
The scenic
race course takes paddlers around 7 different islands in North America's
southern most fjord.
The race is
open to recreational and competitive paddlers and we encourage everyone to come
out and challenge themselves at this great event!
We will have a great variety of draw prizes
and some awards for top finishers in numerous categories.
