SUP 11-City Tour

𝗪𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝗱𝗼𝗻𝗲, 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗹𝗼! 💙

Unfortunately, Carlo Arias also had to end his NON-Stop challenge in Âldtsjerk.

A tough way to see the race come to an end after so many hours on the water. For now, the most important thing is rest and recovery. 💪🏼🍀

𝗪𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝗱𝗼𝗻𝗲, 𝗴𝘂𝘆𝘀! 💙

Unfortunately, Romain Brunet, Frederic Ducry and James Fletcher have had to end their NON-Stop challenge.

Romain and James were taking on the route prone, while Frederic was paddling SUP. All three put in a huge effort out there.

Time to recover now. Wishing you all a good rest and a smooth recovery. 💪🏼

Daylight is gone and the NON-Stop moves into a completely different phase.

The temperature drops, the route gets darker and the kilometres start to feel different. Lights on, focus sharp and still a long way to go.

This is where the night begins. 💪🏼

Yesterday, the first athletes arrived at Stadsstrand Leeuwarden for the 13th edition of the SUP 11-City Tour NON-Stop.

Profile photos were taken, old friends met again, everyone enjoyed a good plate of pasta and we wrapped up the evening with the skippers meeting.

Mello Boer - MelloFilms also got everything ready for this weekend’s livestream.

𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗡𝗢𝗡-𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗽 𝘂𝗽𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲 🌬️

Due to the strong (head)winds expected tomorrow, especially across the larger lakes early in the route, the SUP 11-City Tour NON-Stop will start and finish in Workum instead of Leeuwarden.

That means the paddlers will pass the cities at different times than usual, and the night section will take place on another part of the route.

A different start, but the same 220 kilometres, the same 11 cities and the same NON-Stop spirit. We’re ready. 💪🏼

📍 Start & finish: Workum
🕘 First start: 09:00 AM
🕙 Second start: 10:00 AM

You can follow the NON-Stop throughout Saturday and Sunday via our livestream, with Mello Boer - MelloFilms going live every hour on YouTube-channel!

The award ceremony on Sunday will still take place at Stadsstrand Leeuwarden.

See you on the water, along the route or online. 🔴
