A group of 'witches' went paddleboarding, and the photos are delightful

A fit coven is a happy coven.

Onlookers were caught by surprise on Saturday when hundreds of "witches" breezed past them on brooms paddleboards, according to Oregon Live.

The floating coven turned heads as men and women dressed up in full witch and warlock attire paddled along the Willamette River in Portland, Oregon for the Stand Up Paddleboard Witch Paddle, an annual event in the area.

Ginny Kauffman started the event two years ago after seeing a similar event take place in California, according to Oregon Live. Now they have hundreds of participants.

Just take a look at this happy, paddling coven:

Despite any preconceived notions you might have about witches, the event was centered around giving.

Participants brought canned food, packaged socks and underwear, according to Oregon Live, all of which will be brought to clothing and low-income assistance charities, Sunshine Division and Our House in Portland.

Witches rule.
