Bridge to Bridge: Windsor to Dangar Island SUP Challenge
A Grueling 112km Test of Endurance on the Hawkesbury River
The Bridge to Bridge SUP race is not for the faint of heart. Stretching a formidable 112 kilometres from Windsor to Dangar Island, this event tests the limits of even the most seasoned stand-up paddleboarders. As participants push themselves through the winding, picturesque, and sometimes unforgiving waters of the Hawkesbury River, they face changing tides, relentless winds, and the mental grind of distance paddling.
The journey begins in Windsor, where paddlers set off with the early morning mist clinging to the water. With every stroke, they traverse an ancient river system that holds stories of Indigenous heritage, early settlers, and the raw beauty of Australian nature. But this race is about more than just the distance—it's a challenge of grit, stamina, and sheer willpower.
Reaching Dangar Island is more than just the finish line; it’s a triumph of endurance, both physical and mental, as participants conquer one of Australia's longest and most demanding SUP races. Whether competing for the podium or simply aiming to finish, the Bridge to Bridge is a rite of passage for any SUP athlete seeking the ultimate test on the Hawkesbury’s legendary waters.
