Led by Mr. Du Kunliang from the Department of Physical Education of National Pingtung University, the first SUP vertical paddle racing tournament exclusively for China was held last year in Pengtung Dapeng Bay, Nantou Sun Moon Lake, Taichung Daan Marina Park and Tainan Canal in the city, etc. Race in 4 races. This year, the event was delayed due to the impact of the epidemic. Only two events were selected. After the efforts of the Tainan Municipal Government Tourism Bureau and National Pingtung University, the event was finally restarted. The first stop was on the Tainan Canal on July 12 Enthusiastic debut. It is also expected to handle the Nantou Sun Moon Lake Race in October.

This year's event counts 4 events, and more than 50 people have signed up to participate. Among them, players aged from middle school to over 60 years old, it can be seen that this is a leisure activity suitable for all ages. The vertical paddle racing has its focus for viewing whether it is long distance or short distance. Long distance is a manifestation of physical and mental strength. Players must bear the sun, hold the oar in their hands, and continue to slide forward, and it will fall slightly. The short distance 1km race and 200m sprint race are even more Wonderful in the wonderful. If long distance is a competition of physical energy and spirit, then short distance is the display of skill and explosiveness. Long-distance turnovers can still have time to recover. Short-distance sprints are not. So five minutes before the start of the game, it is not difficult to find that many players are constantly planning their strategies, fearing that the slightest mistake will make them miss the first place. The Department of Physical Education of National Pingtung University has handled many vertical paddle racing tournaments and is an experienced team. I hope that through the league, board friends from all over the country can communicate with each other and promote the SUP vertical paddling activity to be more active in Taiwan.

Mayor Huang Weizhe said that Tainan City is a hydrophilic city and pays attention to the safety of waters. Recreational activities in waters have always been one of the main thrusts of the Tainan Municipal Government’s governance. Both activities and events can promote city tourism and invite people from all over the country in this summer.
