South Africas Ethan Koopmans and Slovenias Manca Notar are winning the first N1SCO World Championships. Surprisingly there are three Swiss paddlers in the top ten. It comes as no surprise that Manca Notar won the event but to see a Japanese and a Swiss paddler in the top three that is rather surprising. We are looking forward to hear more on who these “dark horses” are emerging to the top, as the sport continues to grow in Europe.
The first N1SCO World Championships was held in Las Vegas on the weekend of the 12./13. October 2013 followed by the European Championships and qualifying races in St.Mortiz in Switzerland. As the sport is further evolving “One-Design” races will move more and more in the foreground, as in these kind of races no one can blame their board being slower.
