Steady southerly winds, mild October weather and a fantastic group of paddlers; the SUP-class could hardly get a better introduction to the King and Queen of the Fjord! Andreas Svensson is the King of SUP!
A huge thanks to Emma Levemyr who is the creator of this event. And applause to all the people around that make a race like this working; Surfskjulet with Martin Lannér, Brabåt and not the least all the volunteers! Many thumbs up to 102 SUP and SURF and Göran Sivertsson who assisted with his surf-mobile that swallowed nearly the entire starting field of SUP, and as many thumbs up to Crosswater who contributed with number vests.

(Unfortunately we had no female participants in the SUP-class this year and could not crown the queen of the fjord. We hope to see as many women as men next year!)
Allan Rörby crosses the finish line
As co-host, and responsible for the introduction of SUP in this event, I had no time and calm to focus on participation in the race. So I chose to lend out my board to the windsurfing-King of Stenudden; Mikael Lygner. First time on a race-SUP for Mikael, not the last I hope!
