Home sweet home !

I’m back after 20 crazy days, I went from Fuerteventura to Barcelona, then I spent a week end in Zurich, a few days in Geneva, flew over the Atlantique and the USA to Dana Point, California for the Battle of the Paddle 2009 and then back to Geneva, Barcelona and finally… HOME !

Switzerland was cool, there’s plenty of lakes to do SUP with a great potential for cruising, long distance race and even downwinds, even though if it is only starting there, it gonn get big !

And… California was… Amazing ! It was nice to catch up with riders from all over the world, some of whom I knew from other comps , it was nice to see the latest tendencies in board shapes and designs, some will stay, some will go, doesn’t matter, it is part of the game…
Regarding the races it was… Insane, so many people, so many SUPer stars, such a great experience !

here’s some pics of the full trip..
