This year Aquaplanet are making a splash in the fight against prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and mental health challenges that affect men around the world with their MoPaddle Challenge. Paddlers need to paddle 20km and raise £20, to be in with a chance of winning prizes!

So why join the challenge?

The MoPaddle challenge not only helps to bring together paddle board lovers and raise money for Movember, but there are other benefits too. These can include:

  • Teamwork: Collaborate with passionate communities for a shared purpose and raise awareness for the Movember Charity.
  • Well-being: Engage in outdoor activities during cooler months to elevate endorphins, improve sleep quality, and feel rejuvenated.
  • Fitness: Set fitness targets, and refine paddle boarding techniques to boost confidence.
  • Adventure: Seize opportunities to discover new waterways and expand your SUP experiences.

Why are they running the competition?

Aquaplanet are running the competition to raise money for charity, with 100% of the proceeds going straight to Movember. Movember is the leading charity changing the face of men’s health. They raise money for mental health, suicide prevention, prostate cancer, and testicular cancer. 

How do you enter? 

To enter the competition, all entrants need to do is ensure they have a paddle board and be able to track their paddleboarding distance with a tracking app. 

Participants can join anytime in the month of November with the challenge ending on November 30th. The later you join in the challenge the less time the participant will have to paddle 20km and raise money. 

Aquaplanet will give out 4 prizes to participants who have raised over £20 and paddled the 20km. The prize draw winners will be announced at the beginning of December via email from Aquaplanet.

The 4 prizes are:

1st - Aquaplanet red and blue Pace paddle board

2nd - £100 voucher to spend with Aquaplanet

3rd - £75 voucher to spend with Aquaplanet

4th - £50 voucher to spend with Aquaplanet
