The SUP Race World has been quiet the last 2 weeks but this weekend we had 2 big SUP Races. There was th Punta Ala Longdistance race and the Adria SUP Challenge with a day of Longdistance and a day of Tech. Races. Both races had a good turn out and attracted some elite paddlers. Punta Ala was part of the EURO TOUR and the Adria race was part of the SUP Alps Trophy. These two events contributed to some movement in the top 10 world ranking.
Men Longdistance
Donato Freens solidified his top spot with a 2. place in Punta Ala behind Michael Booth. It was great to see Boothy back on the race course and his win in this EURO TOUR event got him the 6. place in the world top ten. From Germany Normen Weber moved up into the top three by winning the Adria SUP Challenge. However it was mostly the EURO TOUR event that made for most of the movements. New in the top then are also Davide Alpino and Blue Ewer with a 6. and 7. place. As one exception Asger Smidt moves up 2 spots with his 3. place in the Danish SUP Tour in Vejle.

Women Longdistance
There is not much movement in the women top then as the big points were all collected in the beginning of the season. However: Notice Anna Tschirky, she is now only 90 points behind Esperanza. Anna has been busy collecting points and her 2. Place at the EURO TOUR have moved her dangerously close to Espe. Cecilia Pampinella who won the Punta Ala race is catching up in points as well, but it remains to be seen if she can beat Anna before the year ends.
The new comers in the top then are Claudia Postiglione with a 4. place in Punta Ala and Emma Freja Pedersen with a win at the Danish SUP Tour in Vejle.
