On July 10 South Florida’s Ark Paddleboards and Board Sports Productions hosted the first annual Cast for Kids Stand-Up Paddleboard Fishing Tournament. The event was held in the waters off Ocean Point Beach Resort in Pompano Beach.
On a flat sea with calm winds, 18 anglers turned their paddleboards and surfboards into human-powered platforms for casting their fishing rods.
Roray Kam caught the biggest fish, a 10.9-pound king mackerel. The team netting the biggest fish was comprised of John Hartsock and Mike Hanstein who caught a 15.5-pound bonita. The team of Guy DeJohn and Eric Carter captured the most fish.

Organizers said that final proceeds will go to Broward Children’s Center, which each year helps thousands of kids with special healthcare needs.
“This year our community’s support is more important than ever because every cent raised will help fund our efforts to provide early education, therapy and support services to children having special needs,” Broward Children’s Center CEO Marjorie Evans said.
The next SUP fishing tournament is being planned for the fall. For more information, contact Alexis Shaw at 561-276-2112 or boardsportsproductions@gmail.com.
