On October 28th, Charleston SUP Safaris and Flipper Finders got into the spooky spirit and hosted a stand up paddle board race to raise money to benefit Youth 2 Ocean, an organization that provides environmental education and exploration of nature to local youth. Everyone who came out paddled for a cause while dressed in Halloween costumes and even brought their pups in costumes too! There were 20 participants total and 6 dogs. Congratulations to everyone that came out and everyone that placed!
