We did not get many info’s on the EURO TOUR SUP race on Madeira. but from what we can gather from the results the field of athletes was not too big. Remote island locations like this are always difficult to get athletes to over come logistical challenges to make it to the start line.
On the men side the top paddlers were Clement Colmas in first, Ty Judson in second and Christian “Polarbear” Anderson. Non of them is currently in the top ten of the SUP World Rankings so it will be interesting to see if the results helped to move them up into the top rankings.
On the ladies side we had all eyes on Duna Gordillo and Anna Tschirky, Looking at the race times, it is quite remarkable how much faster Duna was than Anna. The time difference was over 5 minutes. Frankly we don’t know what happened but if there were not unusual circumstances then we will continue to have an interesting SUP season amongst the female competitors. Anna is currently in spot #2 in the World Ranking and Duna in #4 with a 381 point gap to Anna. The win in this race will not be enough to close the gap significantly as we suspect a low race index for the Madeira Island SUP Challenge. We will know more in the middle of the week when we do our snap shot.
