Great vid, thanks for sharing.

And thanks also for the subtitles.

Impressive growth in the number of SUPs. Given the discussions here about the future of racing, it will be interesting to see how many there are next year. My guess is that numbers at events like this will continue to grow.

definitely need to improve fin boxes,with retractable fins... one racer arranged such a system but the best should be a pivoting fin in a daggerboard box or such thing. Some surf skis participated but replaced bottom rudder by a foldable tail rudder. I used my last multihull SUP ( see post in "the shape shack") and broken my carbon rudder shaft after about 15 miles... finished with a piece of rope to attach rudder, lost at least 30 mins with that trouble...

Hey Pierre

The video link is not appearing in your post. For me at least. 

If it is truly gone, can you repost?

Thanks!

I participated in that race. The scenery is amazing. The SUP crowd is getting bigger every year. The organisation is good in some ways but lack enough food and replenishments etc in the stations. Most of the participants use inflatable boards since they don't get destroyed easily and when the current is strong the speed difference is not so huge.
