Come join in on the fun, excitement, teamwork, costumes, colors and music at the Carolina Beach waterfront and Marina. This two-day event starts with a Kickoff Party where competing teams will be announced and to enjoy some great music. Teams will be competing for a variety of awards with trophies for the winners of different categories. Gather your friends, neighbors, relatives, co-workers or customers and enter your team by submitting an application and providing a donation. Each team requires 11 members in the boat with up to 4 alternates – 10 paddlers and one drummer to keep the pace. All donations benefit various local charities including Ocean Cure as well as children’s civic, education and athletic activities supported by The Island Men.
