Proper fueling can make the difference between feeling strong at the end of a race… or completely running out of gas.

This session is designed for outrigger paddlers preparing for the OC6 racing season, but the information is valuable for anyone participating in endurance paddle sports including SUP, OC1, surfski, and prone paddlebaording.

  • Hydration strategies for performance and recovery
  • Electrolytes and hydration systems (including hydration packs and setup tips)

This session is hosted by Candice Appleby, multiple-time Stand Up Paddle World Champion and open women’s paddler for Dana Outrigger Canoe Club, part of the 2024 and 2025 Catalina Championship teams.
