You wanted competition and we answered your call! The 2026 PADDLE BATTLE will see teams of five battle it out during three different tournaments over the course of the summer. INVITE ONLY, this tournament will bring together the best of South Georgian Bay in a showdown like no other.
Last year saw seven teams compete over four weeks with the top team winning by a mere three points. This year, we're making it a bit more competitive - only five teams, five members each, and everyone needs to be able to play with everyone on the team.
