SUP USA Rankings

Besides the Carolina Cup the competitive world of SUP has pretty much moved to Europe. The world has pretty much lost focus what is going on in SUP in the USA. There are still world class athletes in this country as well as some young promising athletes. However, it seems like somehow the US has lost its SUP edge.

Not anymore, with the founding of SUP USA, a membership organization spearheaded by Kristin Thomas we got a breath of live back in the the sport.

In their latest news letter SUP USA is now releasing their first annual SUP Ranking.

Kristin Thomas:

“What I’m most excited about today is releasing USA SUP rankings 2022! You can see a sneak peak below, but be sure to click through to our website to find your name on the pages! As we formed this organization last year, we took on the daunting task of attempting to include every US paddler & every US race. While we still have a ways to go,  thanks to the hared work and tech skills of Board member Grant Cooper, we were able to rank 741 women, 1,135 men and 121 races throughout the United States of America. While we are very proud that we are getting these rankings out, we were not able to do all the hope to do in the future when we have more information from paddlers, better communication with race directors & race platforms, and continuity about how races are reported. Check out our FAQs to understand the data reported in these first ever USA SUP Rankings and learn how to provide feedback. “
