This years SUP Season quietly opened in Sayulita, Mexico. The SUP Festival style race and SUP Surf Contest looks like it is starting to attract SUP racers who’s name we are seeing in bigger races through out the year. Sayulita is well known in the watersport world and was also the venue for the ISA SUP World Championships in 2015.
One of the main draws of Sayulita is its excellent conditions for a variety of watersports. The warm waters and consistent waves make it ideal for surfing, attracting surfers of all skill levels. Beginners can take lessons from local surf schools, while more experienced surfers can challenge themselves on the larger swells.
This year Connor Baxter was on location giving SUP Clinics and racing against Christian Andresen, who enjoyed some time in the warm sun away from Denmark. It was him then who took the win in the Tech. Race over Itzel Delgado and Connor in the Tech. Race. In the longdistance it was Itzel Delgado who traded spots on the podium with Christian Andersen. Connor remained on the third place.
We lack the details of the race and do not know how close the out come was, but we are wondering if these results are an indicator for future competitions where we see these three racers?
On the women side Julitte DuHaime was the only international name in the sport who participated and won against two local paddlers.
