The Errant Surf Holidays Pier2Pier Malibu Race

A traditional ‘paddle race’ on ‘malibu’ surfboards – prone or knee paddle from the eastern side of the Brighton Pier to the western side of the West Pier.

At around 2 miles and against the current this is not an easy race!

This year’s race will have two categories – ‘Pros’ and ‘Amateurs’.

If you are a sponsored surfer in anyway, or compete in the UKPro Surf Tour/BLU events (or similar) then you are classed as ‘Pros’. Everyone else falls into the ‘Amateurs’ category. If in any doubt please email the racedirector@paddleroundthepier.com
