Taking place during the Paddle Sport Show industry party, the Paddle Sports Product of the Year Awards, is geared towards designers, manufacturers, distributors and importers. This contest is aimed to highlight a product that the jury thinks is making a difference, through its innovation, performance, design, utility, etc… 12 Awards to be taking home, with a new category the sustainability awards!
The only condition is the product must be at the show (Entries accepted from Aug 16th, through Sept 10th.)
