Unfortunately we had to take a break from our weekly updates. On August 8th our town of Lahaina fell victim to the worst wild fire in the history of Hawaii and in US history in over a century. If you are not in the loop you can read our story here. As we are picking up the pieces now and it is time see what changed in the last 2 weeks.
Men Longdistance
Looks like Ludovic Teulade made a move and his 2. place in the Sand Up Paddle Salavaux got him back into the top three on the expense of Bruno Hasulyo who has been inactive for a while. We also welcome 2 new athletes in the Top Ten: Manuel Lauble from Germany entering the top ranks as the 2. German this season. His win at the Race in Davos, Switzerland and his 3. Place at the Sand Up moved him to 8. place. Just making it into the top 10 is Asger Smidt from Denmark with 9. Place at the Skrea Strand Paddelrace

Women Longdistance
The womens field remained pretty much unchanged. Anna Tschirky did race at teh Sand Up Paddle Salavaux in Switzerland. Her first place gave her some points but not enough to catch Esperanza. Tanja Ecker from Germany won the Skrea Strand Paddlerace and moved from her 11. place back in to Top Ten, therefore pushing the remaining ladies behind her by one spot.

New in the list is the Swedish paddler Linus Karlsson with a win at the Planet Baltic SUP Race and a fourth place at the Skrea Strand Paddlrace.
