About Bay Bridge Paddle

The Annual Bay Bridge Paddle is a paddlesports showcase on the Chesapeake Bay.  There are divisions for kayaks, SUPs, surfskis, prone, outrigger canoe, and three courses for all skill levels: The Span (9M), The Steamer (3M), and The Soft Shell (1M). If you don't see your craft type, reach out to us, and we can try to include it.  After the race, kick back with your paddle people and enjoy the Maryland Seafood Festival with live music, great food, raffles benefiting the charities that support a healthy Chesapeake Bay, and an awards ceremony.  Need to rent a board? Email us and we'll connect you!
