In the final, Shrimpy Shuri Araki was the strong force right from the start. He hammered away with Donato behind trying to keep up. Shrimpy capitalized on every bump and wave he could find and his lead over Donato started to grow and grow. By the time Shrimpy was at the beach flag for the rounding, Donato was already that far behind that only a miracle would have gotten him 1st place. Behind Donato we had Eri Tenorio and Blue Ewer but even for these two guys the gap to Donato was too big and they could not catch up.

Women Tech. Race

It was a day of fierce competition and clear separation in the women’s SUP Tech. Race in Agios Nikolaos, Greece. Marie Carmen Rivera from Portugal dominated the field, finishing in 10:14.618 and securing a solid lead of nearly 9 seconds ahead of Hungary’s rising star Csillag Kocsis (10:23.515). Greece’s own Kyriaki Logotheti followed closely in third with 10:29.003, keeping the podium battle tight.

But after the top three crossed the line, the time gaps widened significantly. Spain’s Susak Molinero, a seasoned veteran, finished almost 30 seconds behind Logotheti at 10:58.958—showing just how intense the pace was at the front of the pack. The sharp contrast in race times highlighted the growing depth and range of performance levels in the women’s fleet this season.

Marie Carmen Rivera claimed a commanding victory in the Long Distance SUP Race under clear blue skies and near-perfect conditions. She crossed the finish line with a solid lead ahead of Spain’s Susak Molinero. Greece’s own Kyriaki Logotheti thrilled the home crowd with a strong third-place finish, just 18 seconds behind.

After that, the field spread out, with Natalia Novitskaia securing fourth and Germany’s promising young talent Skadi Langbein rounding out the top five.

Unfortunately, Csillag Kocsis was unable to compete due to illness. We wish her a speedy recovery and hope to see her back on the water soon!

The start of the men’s race was full of excitement, with Donato Freens leading a draft train while Shuri Araki (aka “Shrimpy”) opted for an outside line, initially trailing behind. In a remarkable display of strength and strategy, Shuri closed the gap and caught up with Donato and the lead pack.

In the final stretch, it was Shrimpy who surged ahead to take the win, finishing just 20 seconds ahead of Donato. A standout performance came from Greece’s Anastasios Tsouris, who claimed third place with a strong effort on home waters.

After the top three, the time gaps widened: Eri Tenorio crossed the line over a minute behind Tsouris, and Paolo Marconi followed 47 seconds later.
