Fee: $10 entry per person.

Participants get to enjoy our water versions of traditional rodeo events such as;
- Bull Riding (Float-A-Bull) - Contestants get points for style, and how fast you can get on. You have 30 sec to give us your best shot. You can tell your friends you "rowed a bull" later...
- Barrel Racing -This race is done on kayaks or paddleboards. Get in there and race around the barrels floating on the water! YEE-SPLASH!
- Greased Watermelon Chase - If you've ever been a kid at a rodeo that entered the greased pig chase, this can be a lot of slippery fun. Kid friendly and loads of laughs.
- Goofy Paddle - Not quite a rodeo event, but a chance to paddle a ridiculous floating donut. Participants will race our float tubes around the outside of the barrel racing course. This is for sure a family favorite and a barrel of laughs. Can you paddle in a straight line? Will you just spin around? Our cowboy judges can't wait to find out!
-
Roping - We MIGHT do this one - depends on manpower! Alright cowboys let's see how fast you can lasso your target. Contestants start at the shore with a lasso in hand, paddle out the the bull, and lasso his horns. You will need to turn him 360º, undo the lasso, and paddle back.
Don't have your own equipment? NO PROBLEM! Your entry fee also includes use of one of our kayaks or SUP's we will have set aside just for this event. (No club member craft/high-end equipment offered from our fleet for the rodeo, but feel free to bring your own.)
