This is the 2nd bi-annual Curt Davis Mustache Growing Contest of Paddlesports. Click HERE to view the blog, where all the competition will go down.

NOTE: We will only allow 40 competitors on a first come, first serve basis.

It is important to know that this event is done for the community. There is no money made directly from the organization or promotion of this contest. Yes, there are sponsors and advertising but no one has been paid to make this happen. It is simply here for fun.

Several great companies agreed to sponsor this year's event. We even had a few repeat offenders. IR came on huge this year with the title sponsorship, giving a dry suit. All the prizes are top notch and from the industry's leading brands, no doubt.

IR brings the grand prize this year, a DoubleD Dry Suit. 1st place will enjoy this prize and may opt for a drytop/splashpant combo instead.


Aquabound is the leading paddle maker in the industry. They have again donated one of their very popular 4pc Carbon breakdown paddles. This is a must for any creek or river runner.
