SUP Race Series founder Rob Alfieri points
out in the release, "Stand-up paddling is one
of the fastest-growing sports in the world, and
Florida is leading the pack as new participants
are eager to explore our amazing waterways
while enjoying incredible exercise. We look
forward to seeing all our paddling friends
from last year and meeting new ones as we
enjoy three Sarasota treasures together —
Siesta Key Beach, Benderson Park and the
Sailing Squadron."

Chairwoman Christine Robinson alerted her
colleagues last week to news that Siesta Public
Beach had been named one of TripAdvisor's
Top 10 Breathtaking Beaches in the World.
The list includes beaches from the Seychelles
to the Caribbean to Greece, with a quote pro-
vided for each. Under a photo of Siesta at
sunset, the quote says, "Siesta Key Beach
is the nicest beach I have ever been to. I
have been all over the world and nothing
compares." %
