SUP Alps Trophy The Lake Rocks Updates Results

Sunday Tech. Race

We love Tech. Races and we love them exactly for pictures like this. We just don’t understand why we don’t have more of them.

Running though heat by heat makes no sense here as we were not able to watch all the heats on the live cast. Looking at the final results we do see a few unexpected placements as we would have expected Boothy and Vaic to be on top and on the ladies side things look mostly the way we can expect final results like this, except maybe Espe not making the podium.

We also like to thank Andy Klotz who has been tirelessly taking pictures all these days for us to use and share. If you have a moment give him a like and share his content.

Saturday Longdistance Race

A watershed moment for Donato Freens

The big news first: Donato Freens beats Michael Booth. His victory is most likely the biggest win of his career. Arriving at the finish line less than a board length ahead of one of the biggest names in the sport is a huge career moment for Donato. The odds were certainly on Boothys side and if we had to pick a name for gold it would have been Boothy. In fact we were pretty convinced that this race will be an easy pay check for Boothy. In numbers: The 0.74 seconds cost Boothy EUR 1000 in price money as Donato is taking home his biggest check ever.

Vaic Garioud arrived 4.66 seconds behind the winner and the fourth place with Blue Ewer with 8.85 seconds. from there the gaps are just growing rather quickly into the double digits.

Now that Esperanza has her Spanish Championships out of the way she can focus on the rest of the season. Opening her campaign in Austria seemed a very smart choice as nobody in the field could even come near hear. With a lead of 4:24.47 she did not only win she absolutely smoked her competition. Juliette DuHaime who is having a strong season might have gotten a bit of a reality check paddling against Espe. Cecilia Pampinella found her way back on the podium with just about 8 seconds behind Juliette. Tarryn King how ever was very close behind her missing the podium only by 3 seconds.

Over all spoken, there was an entire pack behind Espe all arriving within the same minute and from rank 7 with Reka Slekta from Hungary the time lag is growing rapidly.

Friday Speedrace

We are already two days into the big SUP Festival at the Faaker See in Austria and judging by the pictures the event is already a big success and the main events have not even been running yet.

The weather looks amazing and the European SUP Summer is in full swing.

The weekend started with a boarder cross style races in the town and then moved to the lake in on Friday with Team Races and Speed (Sprint Races).

Congratulations to the winners of the Speedrace: Andrey Kaitor who was 2 seconds faster than South African Cameron Tripney. Esperanza Barreras showed her strength with an almost two second win over Claudia Postiglione.
