Get ready, Belmont! Anchored Soul presents its 6th annual “Bon Temps Paddle Battle on Wylie” on Saturday, August 16th, 2025, at 3127 South Point Rd. Lake Wylie is calling for a day of fun, sun, and serious water action, whether you’re a seasoned paddler or a beginner!
Races for all skill levels: a 1-mile fun race, or challenging 3.5-, 7-, or 14-mile distance races. Don’t forget the Guppies race for kids and the SUP Pup Cup for your furry friends!
Registration for the longer races includes a T-shirt, a meal ticket, a drink ticket, and concert access. Best of all, proceeds benefit local non-profits! New to paddleboarding? Anchored Soul provides equipment, and instructor Heidi Schmidt Cole offers lessons.
After the races, an energetic Tribute Band, South Shore Syndicate, will rock the stage from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM, keeping the party going with food, drinks, and fun. Grab your paddle and we’ll see you on Lake Wylie!
