Your ticket for participating in the race will provide access to Nautic for two persons, on Saturday 3rd December 2022 (10:00 AM to 5:00 PM), in order to pick up your bib, drop off your board and attend the briefing. You will also be able to visit the aisles of the Nautic Paris Boat Show.
It’s possible for you to access the Parc des Expositions by car so that you may drop off your materials:
Note: for security reasons, as of March 2017 all vehicles may only access the Parc des Expositions from the Porte de Versailles following pre-registration on the VIParis (via the Logipass service), which oversees installations at the Porte de Versailles. More details to come.
This answer is NO (sorry). Each participant must ensure that they bring their board with them to enter the race. If you don't have one on the day of your final registration, you're responsible for buying, borrowing or renting it in anticipation of the event.
Paddle boards can be stored from Saturday 4th December from 10am until the following day (after the race) at 7pm. The storage location will be specified at the time of registration confirmation.
During the draw at the end of the pre-registration period, by registering as a team, if the team captain is selected, then all team members will be able to participate in the race. This choice allows you, if you are lucky in the draw, to be sure to experience the race alongside your loved ones.
Let's remind you that the teammates will start each one on their individual board (no big SUP, big mama, Dragon SUP, etc. except for the partners of the organization).
There is a shuttle system in place that transports participants to the starting point. At the end of the race, participants take the shuttle in the direction of the Porte de Versailles.
No refund will be possible this year, even on presentation of a medical certificate. If necessary, ask your insurance company for more information.
If you are planning on having an escort and you want the individual(s) accompanying you to be able to access the Nautic and/or participate in the brunch served on Sunday 5th, please let us know when you register online (before November 20).
You can contact the organization team by clicking here. We also try to give swift answers when we get PMs on our Facebook page.
We strongly recommend that you submit your medical certificate online as part of the registration process, along with the other documents to be submitted. However, if you are unable to do so, you may send it to us by email at nauticpaddle@nauticfestival.com.
In the worst case, you will be able to present your certificate no later than Saturday, December 5th when you receive your race numbers on the Nautic.
Sorry to be a downer, but no. :( Big Paddles are for partners only. This type of board is faster, and therefore, out of the rankings. This event is first and foremost a race. Each rider must be on his own individual board.
Yes, we do not oblige you to take the shuttle. :) If you wish, you can go directly to the starting point with your board and your equipment (after you have registered beforehand and attended the briefing of course).
Yes, it is not mandatory to drop your board in the trucks, both on the way to and from the race.
We accept boards between 10'6 and 14'. Both inflatable and rigid formats are accepted.
