3rd Annual Cold Stroke Classic Wrightsville Beach, NC January 15, 2011
3rd Annual Cold Stroke Classic takes place in Wrightsville Beach, NC on January 15, 2011 beginning at 10am.
SUP (Stand Up Paddleboarding) is a growing sport in our area. In fact, until last summer I hadn't even heard of it. I don't know much more about it now, but I plan on learning more at the 3rd Annual Cold Stroke Classic! Coastal Urge, a local store owned by Catherine & Jeoffrey Nathan, caters to paddleboarders and is doing their part to increase the sports popularity in the Cape Fear Region. They host 4 local races a year and have founded a non-profit, SUP Cleanup, to help keep our beaches 
and waterways clean.
WOO HOO! CA got in touch with Jeoffrey Nathan and he was kind enough to forward this picture, courtesy of Tyler Hustrulid, so you can all see what paddleboarding is! Thanks so much Mr. Nathan & Mr. Hustrulid!
