What a race in Paris yesterday morning – big congrats to Arthur Arutkin for finishing 1st and Tom Auber in 4th as well as  the other racers who finished the race in this very cold conditions.

With 700 Stand Up Paddlers on the start line (and another 600 on the waiting list), the Paris Crossing is by far the world’s largest SUP race. The organisers have been upping the entries by a hundred each year with an eye of having 1000 participants in 2020. It’s like a fun run on water. Conditions were freezing cold and probably most of the competitors could not feel their feet during the race. Arthur was leading the pack together with Bruno Hasulyo and Casper Steinfath but in the last 100 meters he catched up full power to take the title – so cool to see! Well done Arthur & Tom!
