This race benefits the Gilyana family- Eiffel Gilyana was a pillar of the Jacksonville community, a loving husband and father, a pinnacle member of TFH1, and a friend to all he met. Eiffel passed away while doing what he loved, paddling, on 12/23/23. 

This race is open to OC-1's, OC-2's, surf skis, SUPs, kayaks, prone paddle boards, and canoes, and awards will be given to the top 2 male and female finishers in each category. Register by Jan 20, 2024 to be guaranteed a shirt. For those registering as either a surf ski or kayak, we will be defining <20" beam  as a surf ski and anything wider as a kayak.
