What to Expect
Registration
Registration is required to go on the water with the 2024 Witch Paddle Event. Registration will close when we hit max capacity or on 8/13/2024.
Waiver
Every participant is required to sign a waiver. So it is important that you use a good email for your registration. Participants will not be allowed on the water without this signed. One thing it allows us to do is take photos and video footage.
Join the Facebook Group
Upon registration, you will receive a welcome email with a link to join the 2024 Witch Paddle Facebook Group. All pertinent information will be emailed AND posted in the group.
Parking
You do not need a state park pass if you are a registered participant. We suggest getting to Chatfield early. Registration opens at 7 am. The parking lot at the Swimbeach will be open, with one parking lot to the north and two to the south. Spectators are asked to park in the overflow lots to the North and South so boarders are closer to get their gear to the beach.
Check-In
Check-In will open at 7 am at Chatfield Beach. You will not be allowed onto the water or shore until you’ve checked in, so please park and check in before unloading your board and gear.
Check-In is organized by last name…just check the signs to know where to go.
Launch
Once you are checked in, you will be permitted through the chute to set up your board on the beach. Anna Marie & her crew will go out just before 9 and everyone will launch all together at exactly 9:00 am, so make sure you give yourself enough time to check in and get your gear to the beach.
