In 2023 Cold Hawaii Games will add a brand new event to the mix. While being in the holding period for Cold Hawaii Big Air 2023, the same venue, Cold Hawaii Surf Arena, at Vorupør Beach will be hosting the best young stand-up paddlers in the world as well as inviting locals and tourists to watch and join for SUP lessons during the weekend.
Cold Hawaii Games has teamed up with our local SUP athlete Caroline Küntzel to create a junior elite stand-up paddling event in Nørre Vorupør (previous Stand Up Paddle World Championship venue).
