Sweden, Paddy secures long-distance title at GløGlø in Malmo city centre

Leave it to the Swedish to do cold and harsh stuff in their spare time.

 

Just ahead of Alpine Lake Tours’ famous GlaGla Race, the Malmö Kanot Klubb have taken it on themselves to organize their own harsh winter race and call it GløGlø, which is a sound vaguely reminiscent of liquor being consumed at a very high pace. About fifty riders from Sweden, Denmark, Norway, and even the UK came together to paddle it out.

Winners received perishable medals baked from cookie dough. So you know it’s legit!
Paddy secured the long-distance title with an average paddling speed of 9.6 kmh, while Linus Karlsson won the overall title after a very respectable season.

Paddy Gloglo race

THE VENUE
Racing around two buoys in the Malmö canal right in the city centre provided ample entertainment for the locals doing their Christmas shopping.

Paddy raced his Ninja 22”

Racing a 22” made sense in these flat water conditions, The Ninja is my go-to board when paddling on flat water or in smaller chops. It cuts through water like nothing else – when I had to stop paddling because of low-hanging bridges, I simply had to duck down, maintaining tons of glide to appear on the other side, ready for more speed.

“This was the event that wrapped up the race season in Sweden. Super stoked to win the overall distance title for the 2021 SWEDISH SUP RACE SERIES. The race gathers people from both Sweden and abroad and is known for its humble atmosphere.”

Australia, Izzie wins 2021 Ryan Abdul Abdy Memorial

Ryan ‘Abdul’ Abdy was a local Maroochydore surfer, lifeguard, environmental advocate and volunteer for the Disabled Surfers Association who sadly passed away in February 2014 at the age of 40 following a battle with brain cancer.

In honor of his memory, Ryan has a beach access point where he was based named after him. And because his passing was felt throughout the community, the North Shore Boardriders Club dedicated a competition after their lifetime member too.

With a strong local presence, Izzie competed against lifelong friends and girls she has surfed with all her life:

“I have been competing since I was 12 with the same girls I am competing with now and I am 18. So you can imagine we all love to hang out but when he comes to a heat… it’s game on. Myself and Holly Williams have been best friends for years now and we are both very competitive.”

Izzi Caldow

“We were in different heats for the semi and she got first in the semi and so did I so the final was going to determine who was going to come out on top. It was a pretty hard final watching myself, Holly and two other girls go wave for wave. But I felt very confident with how I performed and just really in sync with my 5’6”. No one knew who won until the winner announcements, so when they called my name as first place I was over the moon!”

Conditions at Maroochydore
Waves were consistent all day and everyone got their share.

“This comp was a very special comp as if was a memorial comp for a legend Ryan Abdul who passed away. It was super special as all his family was there watching along side all his best mates. For me, taking the win at such a prestigious comp like that means the world to me and it boosts my confidence levels as well!”
Izzie Caldow

(note editor: A few hours before publishing this post Izzi picked up an additional sponsor as well with Rip Curl, so waves are being made. We’re so stoked for Izzi, proud to see her take the 1st after months of agonizing shoulder rehabilitation and can’t wait what 2022 is going to look like. First comp – Newcastle in March 2022)

Izzi’s board
At this point we can’t share the name or specific dims about the shape Izzi competed on. We can tell you it’s a PU though, designed by Carl Schaper and the board will be released as-is in

France, Titouan conquers the 11th edition of the Nautic Paddle in the French Capital

Anyone who’s ever paddled through a city canal knows the deal. You completely rediscover a city you’ve known all your life, and when it comes to city canals, Paris and “La Seine” are as big as they get.

Organized by Nautic Festival SA for the Nautic Paris Boat Show, the 11th Nautic Paddle took place on December 5th.

The exceptional setting of the Seine River between the National Library of France and the Port de Javel Bas (the mooring area for cruise liners). With approximately one thousand paddlers, the field was populated with hardcore athletes and dedicated amateurs alike.

Check out the TotalSUP Livestream below for an impression of the atmosphere:

Follow Titouan on Facebook and IG

With two routes to choose from, the “recreational” route, or “Leisure” course was 11 kilometers, as shown below:

…while the dedicated endurance paddlers could enter the second Route, the “Pro” division, consisting of 14 kilometers with an additional challenge, the rounding of the Île de la Cité and Île Saint-Louis. Do zoom in below to check out the course:

Titouan paddled his NSP Ninja Pro Carbon, a flat water weapon for on-shore racing. The Seine river can get a little choppy, especially with over a thousand paddlers and support boats going back and forth in the canal, but as long as a racer stays in front of the pack conditions remain fairly ideal for a Ninja.

Spain, Fernando Pérez takes 1st place at Mediterraneo SUP race, Allicante

The Mediterraneo SUP Race in Allicante is an ever-growing event organized by the Parres Watersports stable for several years in a row now. The locals are always hungry and it came as no surprise that no less than 87 racers of the Parres club attended and 17 of them occupied podium real estate.

13 demanding kilometers

Fernando ran his best race and secured 1st place in the Elite class eventually.

“At the beginning there was a fair amount of chop at the starting line which made it difficult to get full traction and pull away. But when things settled down, I got a good 3 kilometers of flat water and my Ninja 21” performed well.”

“With an average paddle speed of 9.5kmh, I encountered solid cross-wind of 14kmh and the last kilometer of the race was full-on frontal.”

“Next up, I’ll be racing at GlaGla in January, hopefully with as many teamriders as possible.”

“I got a good 3 kilometers of flat water and my Ninja 21” performed well. Going hard on the flat section and breaking away is what worked best this race. I was able to preserve my lead and maintain 1st out of 230 paddlers.”

France, Titouan takes 1st place at the scenic Ardeche downstreamer

On November 13, Titouan Puyo competed at Marathon International des Gorges de

Ardèche. For those who don’t know – it is a gorgeous (see what we did there?) event where participants race through a scenic landscape in France’s Southern Ardeche department.

With the river cutting a dramatic canyon through the limestone, the race is popular amongst Endurance Athletes looking to test themselves.

Inflatable or hardboard?
With several athletes opting for inflatables and shorter fins that seem to make a lot of sense for the white-water sections, Titouan picked his 20” Ninja.

Apart from the stand-up paddlers, canoers and outriggers participate as well, with over a thousand paddlers in attendance.

Approximately 70 stand-up paddlers participated but, in the end, it was Titouan who took first place in this two-hour flatwater race on his NSP Pro Carbon Ninja 20”.

“The board performed well, especially in the flattest sections of this race and we did occasionally come across some smaller white-water sections as well. The Ninja is now an approved downstream racer too.”

Tomás Lacerda secures 1st in open division at Brisa Circuito Regional SUP Race

Never shy to compete at a local level, Tomás entered a regional SUP event. Powered by Brisa, this brand sponsors a lot of watersports activities in the region, which is always good to see.

This race is part of a local circuit and with one more race left on the agenda, it will be good to learn more about the rankings soon. In the Open Division, approximately 20 riders came to the starting line.

Follow Tomas on Facebook and IG.

Tomás raced his 23″ NSP Puma

Perfect for easy kick-turns, playing in the waves, and flat-decked racing, the Puma comes with a surf fin, unlike the other race boards in the line-up, making the NSP Puma the designated beach racer.

 

Read more about the NSP Puma Pro Carbon here.

“Such a fun race with a lot of young and powerful paddlers from the area. I love technical racing with waves and some turns in the waves. It was a perfect race for me.
Really nice beach start and a clean sprint to the first buoy. After that, I managed to keep the lead until the end.”
Tomás Lacerda

Virginie Samson races to 2nd place at Corsica Paddle Trophy

Organized by the local tourism board, the third edition of the Corsica Paddle Trophy was a three-day event where athletes competed in three different categories and put the limelight on breast cancer in the process.

Sponsored by NSP Europe, the whole event was laid back in between heats with massages, performances, and yoga workshops.

The race classes
In the Elite class, the athletes compete on an 18k course, the amateur class is 10k and the recreational course covers 4k. Paddlers participated in the last two races with inflatables and allrounders, whereas the Elite course was a raceboard-only affair.

Corsica is an island in the Mediterranean and while conditions can get wild when the local wind picks up, in the fall the water is generally flat with some (very) minor bumps or chops. Held in Ajaccio, the surroundings are beautiful and well-maintained with a tourist board eager to push for events like this, which is awesome!

“I drove 45 hours from Calgary to Chattanooga… got out of the car and raced! This is a HUGE race in America with over 654 racers in 2021. The race is a 52.5 km race down the Tennessee River gorge in Chattanooga, Tennessee. There was very thick fog for the first hour of the race where you couldn’t see beyond the nose of the board. There was some headwind on the last third of the race when the heat/sun began to also beat down hard.”

“I lost my food at mile 22 when it fell out of my pocket, so I had to finish the last ten miles depleted and lost a few minutes to the eventual winner. It felt amazing to be on the podium at such a prestigious American event.”

Titouan wins long distance and technical at Alpine Paradise Race

Titouan Puyo became the French Long-Distance champion last weekend during another Long Distance event on the Île de Ré. It was the first National title of the season for T2, and like previous events, Caledonia was a force to be reckoned with on the men’s podium, this time with Noïc Garioud securing silver and Clément Colmas with bronze. This latest French Championship was organized by the Surf Club Rouvé and the French Surf Federation. Text grabbed from SurfingFrance.com (French alert), do click for a full event report.

Mia Soares Silva & Tomás Lacerda take 1st place at SUP Douro Race

From SUPDourorace:
“Yesterday’s event was another testimony of the promotional power of the National Portuguese Surf Federation – we had several classes competing, amongst them the SUB 10, SUB 12, SUB 15, SUB 15 FEM, SUB 18, SUB 18 FEM, OPEN & OPEN FEM, with over80 athletes racing down the scenic waterline of Porto. If nothing else, this was a great promotion of the Gondomar region as well”

“Big shoutout to all athletes who competed and who made the 6km trek from the Praia de Marecos – Zebreiros to Praia de Marecos.”

With several courses set out, Mia & Verónica ran the 6km Queen event in the protected flat water section on the Duoro River, making it an ideal racing ground for the NSP Ninja. Tomás Lacerda ran the full 17km downwinder starting in the marina section of Porto and running all the way South on open water towards Praia de Aguda (Aguda Beach).

Additionally, Verónica raced the final day on her 20.5 Carolina to duke it out in the 14km downwinder. The weather changed though and what was supposed to be a smoother ride turned into a challenge with upwind conditions, crossing waves and a lot of rain and fog. Overall bad conditions for recreational paddling but superb for a Carolina in a National Endurance race. With an average speed of 7kmh Verónica took the win.

Titouan wins long distance and technical at Alpine Paradise Race

The Alpine Paradise Race 2021 took place on Lake Place Moulin on Saturday the 25th. Blessed with a sunny day and mild temperatures, paddlers competed on a long-distance course, a short distance one, and a technical Race.

With the lake being 2000 meters above sea level, locals certainly had an advantage but it was to no avail as Titouan secured the top place in both the Long Distance race and the Technical Race.

The Sach Family dominated the proceedings last week at the Baltic Sea Festival’s 1st Ocean Race. Maui was in form finishing under three hours with an average speed of 9.2 kmh (5.7mph) and a solid fifteen minutes in front of the runner up, Nils Lønborg and his father, Frithjof Sach who maintained the 3rd place until the finish. Maui raced a solid race on his NSP Ninja, facing considerable competition from over 280 racers in the marina.

The long-distance was followed by a beach race that the Baltic sea dishes up more than just flatwater.

Kaelan takes overall title at Pulse Electrical Clearwater Classic

With heavy International travel restrictions, the SUP clubs are organizing grassroots events at a local level, spreading the stoke and getting as many riders as possible out there on the water.

Well promoted by Pulse Electrical and Bundaberg Now, the Clearwater Classic got an elegant amount of publicity online and we were stoked to see Kaelan Lockhart taking an overall win.

“We had perfect fun conditions for the technical race with a few good runners. I used the Carolina 24 1/4 and the Ninja 21 3/4 for my races.”

“For the 10k long-distance race we enjoyed beautifully clear water with a well-timed change
of tide to carry us back home – this was a fantastic and well-organised weekend!”

Titouan finishes second at Eurotour’s Montenegro stop

Last weekend Montenegro welcomed the Eurotour for its maiden race and with breathtaking scenery and a beautiful summer day on offer, it turned out to be an epic event.

For those who don’t know, Montenegro has been a country in its own right since 2006 now, and while its name suggests otherwise (“Black Mountain”) it is actually a microstate with some of the most beautiful beaches in the region.

Sunday’s race was held at Luštica Bay, a dreamy spot uniting old-world traditional fishing charm with upscale facilities, and for one weekend only, hardcore SUP Racing.

For NSP, Canadian racer Dan Hamzic took 8th place while Titouan Puyo raced Michael Booth over pretty much the entire course. Spectators described the duel as an extended drag race, and unfortunately, it wasn’t meant to be for T2 after 22 straight #1 Podium finishes.

During the last section of the race, Titouan was unable to close the gap created by the Australian and had to settle for 2nd place.

Gunther Debin recaps the  SUP11 City Tour of Team SUP Fever

“We did it, what a journey! This year Nele Martens, Joeri Boon, Cindy Humbert and our 15-year old youngster Rhune Spincemaille traveled up to gorgeous Leeuwarden, Netherlands for their SUP adventure to represent NSP Belgium and the SUP fever team.”

“Day 1 and 2 were sweltering hot days. Nele, Cindy and Joeri decided to race at their own pace, to drink a lot and to take things as they come. On the Slotenmeer with strong wind and waves from the passing boats, our NSP Carolinas (14/23.5) did what they were made for, offering stability and cut through the chop. For our rookies, that ability translated into a lot of confidence, considering they had only started training earlier this year.”

“Day 3 and 4 were a cocktail of typical 11City conditions (editor: Ah yes, that famous Dutch weather): The temperature dropped, one minute it was drizzly, and the next moment the sun popped out. Behind one bend a strong headwind would lurk, followed by another curve in the river, giving us some wind in the back.”

“The canals with the regular traffic from vessels provided the necessary waves and challenges, but none were too big for the Carolinas and their riders. Where Nele decided to conserve as much energy as possible right up to the end, Joeri and Cindy boldly went out of their comfort zones and took the Frysian waters head on.”

“And then all of a sudden it was day 5, the day of the finish but especially the day of Rhune on her Ninja 14/22. From Dokkum to Leeuwarden with a strong head wind, she didn’t feel like drafting, she wanted to race her own race and go at it at her pace. . The Ninja cut through the water like a hot knife through butter. It was remarkable to see that the board remained very stable with boats coming from behind.”

“The board remained well controllable and Rhune was able to get on the occasional hump generated by the vessels. But 27K still needs to be paddled and all four riders performed successfully that last day. Our takeaway ist that with the right mindset and equipment you can take on any challenge.”

“Nice work great guys, I’m a proud coach once more!”

Rider impressions from the ICF Worlds in Hungary

“This was my first ever international event. For the first time I could
benchmark my performance with the top International athletes in my division. Despite having an
accident in the sprint semifinal that ended up taking me out of the
final, I am very happy with my performance.”

“I got a 9th place in the sprints and a 12th place in the technical race. I really enjoyed using
my Carolina on both races, the shape worked in buoy turns and performed enough during my 200m sprints.”

Next up,  I am getting ready to prepare for upcoming competitions.”

“Fantastic event, very well organised with a great atmosphere. Almost
500 people from 51 countries.”

“The messy water affected balance, making races a lot tougher than regular training routines.
I think that I was well prepared. Consistency in my motto

Fernando Pérez Serra – NSP Ninja Pro Carbon 14’ 21″

“I managed 9th Long distance and 19th in the technical.”

“The level of the competition was very high and there was unexpected
choppy conditions for the long-distance course.”

“Super fantastic event. I felt like competing in the Olympics. The International level
of the paddlers was outstanding.”

WORLD WINNING GEAR

Double gold at the ICF Worlds Today in Hungary

Titouan takes the world title today from the defending champion and only Australian present at the event, Michael Booth. In all fairness, getting out there to Hungary has been a struggle for many athletes due to travel restrictions, making this an event dominated by Europeans.

Daniel Parres meanwhile dominated in the 50+ division, also becoming a world champion in the process. Both riders met after the finish, possibly discussing their NSP Ninja Pro Carbon setup (who knows)?

Anyone following the live feed could see just how flat the conditions were despite this being one of the greatest lakes in Europe. The live feed is still available for watching btw, simply follow the link here.

Kaelan Lockhart wins SUP Old Woman Ocean Paddle

The Old Woman Ocean Paddle takes place at the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia. It’s a unique festival for paddlers of all abilities and Ocean Endurance athletes who share a love for the ocean environment and Sunshine Coast culture.

Starting at the Mooloolaba Spit, The Old Woman Ocean Paddle challenges Ocean and Spec ski paddlers as well as SUP, OC1 and prone board paddlers throughout the 18km journey along the coast line to Mudjimba around Old Woman Island and return.

If that course doesn’t fit your paddling ability just yet, there’s The Little Woman, a 5km course within the Mooloolaba Beach bay.

Kaelan Lockhart won the 18k race on a wider NSP Sonic Pro Carbon for the choppier conditions of the open water. Kaelan paddles an NSP 100% Carbon Speedster 86.

    • Camps at Skareberg Kållandsö because of an unpredictable wind.
  • June 30th
    • the plan is to zig-zag between a group of islands to reach open water for the last km down to Vänersborg. His expeditions organizer Anna found this shortcut.
    • 16 k’s done so far today. Came thru the zig-zag maze and out on the western side in Vänern with a bit of sidewind from the right.
    • Reached Hindens rev. with the flat water condition.
    • Reached Vänersborg at the inlet to Göta Älv and the last runway down to Göteborg and the ocean which is the end of this journey. This was a pleasant day with nice weather and fantastic scenery. Past the 300 km and kept on for another 20 km.
  • July 1st
    • Leaving Vänersborg
    • Reached Lilla Edet with 39 km done. The river has a nice flow and Paddy took advantage of the tailwind he got, allowing him to fly downstream.

With flat mountain lake conditions, the Ninja bulbous design pierced through the water, creating a smooth ride with minimal wake for maximum efficiency.

Saving that energy for longer runs – An incredibly fast flatwater weapon with key design elements that work really well in water with textured conditions. Nose diving is minimized by a subtle redistribution of the volume, while an improved cockpit design keeps out more water.

Carolina Pro Carbon is the winning tool for 90% of all racing conditions

The Carolina comes with neoprene handles and several balanced fixture points.  4 AVS Drain holes quickly expel excess water from the dugout. A patented GORE® vent near the GoPro (or GPS) fixture point prevents a pressure build-up, allowing oxygen to pass but keeping out moisture.

Jonesy takes the win at Noosa Festival of Surf 2021 Open Longboard SUPs

After competing with family and NSP team member Hugsley at the dog surfing comp, Jonesy truly struck gold at the Open Longboard SUPs this year. With a stacked field of competitors, this made the win all the sweeter for Jonesy and his SLX DC Super X.

  1. Paul “Jonesy” Jones
  2. Raymond Gleave
  3. James Casey
  4. Dylan Henry

Jonesy’s board, the SLX DC Super X range is all about performance longboarding and exceptional surf versatility.

Notice the tail that’s slightly widened compared to last year’s shape. This board has four channels on the rocker, generating speed, while the swallowtail loosens up the tail for greater manoeuvrability.

“SLX” signifies that these boards are made with flax rails and Paulownia wood for its deck.

The DC Super X is for the big stuff and the smaller swell

The range suits both smaller and bigger swell. Depending on the conditions, the DC Super X works in a wide variety of conditions, allowing you to rip on bigger days or try yourself with some classic moves like the helicopter or goof around with a transfer.

“I’m happiest paddling these out to my local point at Currumbin Gold Coast, trimming on the nose, or back on the swallow and effortlessly enjoying a classic cutty or two.”
Dale Chapman – Shaper

Kaelan Lockhart winning the golden buoy sprint at the 12 Towers Ocean Paddle Festival 2021

12 Towers Ocean Paddle Festival is one of the best-attended and famous paddle races Down Under, representing the best and beauty of the Gold Coast.

Exciting to see some fresh blood battling for the podium! ???? How good was Kaelan Lockhart’s sprint to the “golden buoy” in Friday’s 12 Towers surf race — I’d heard big things about this guy after his thumping victory at the Port Stephens race a couple of months back, and I think after today he deserves the title of “dark horse” for season 2021.⁣ He’s still gotta fine tune his footwork and refine that “raw” technique, but his is definitely a name to remember (if it was flat water today, I don’t think any of the boys were catching him).
“Watch all the big names, weekend warriors and club representatives from up and down the east coast of Oz tackle the towers in Saturday’s main event, the 14km ocean race (downwinder?!) — grab a front row seat with SUP Racer’s LIVE STREAM right here on Facebook. The fun starts at 11am local time. Don’t expect ESPN ???? but hopefully it’ll be a fun return to racing!
Big thanks to Dany Leclerc for the awesome drone footage”

A flat deck board suited for all paddlers, in all conditions.

Athletes who prefer a conventional shape over a recessed cockpit usually race the NSP Puma. The most versatile and user-friendly board in the NSP range, the PUMA Pro Carbon is a gateway towards performance paddling on a recessed deck. Initially designed for beach racing, the Puma’s have evolved into very capable downwinders and flat-water boards.

Increased stability over previous models, with the same width as last year’s design, will let you come racing on top every time. Whether it’s a crowded buoy turn, a difficult beach break, or a demanding sprint; stability is everything.

If you want to kick-turn easy, if you want to play in the waves, if you want to downwind and you love flat-deck race shapes, the NSP Puma is for you.
