The 2012 ISA World Standup Paddle Championship is set for February 20 – 25 in Miraflores, Peru. This event is a first, it is team-based, so its not enough to be a singular rock start paddle boarder. It is going to included long-distance races and surfing. It is going to be a seriously stacked even of US mainlander’s, Hawaiian’s, Ausie’s and many more.

So far, the mens US team is looking pretty insane:
Colin McPhillips
Sean Poynter
Danny Ching
Matt Becker
Rob Rojas
Shane Skoggins
Emmy Merrill
Brandi Baksic
Gillian Gibree
