This weekend’s Xpression Wave Classic saw a great turn-out for the surfing with 60 competitors – perfect 3/4 ft offshore conditions at the Berg.
Sunday was a different story, 19 racers in extremely difficult condition – 3 ft chop, 25-knot side shore, strong current and irregular period. While we had hoped to have a far longer race (especially for Mr Chipps, who flew down especially from Durban) it was impossible to make the race longer or do multiple ins and outs due to the wind and rip, without endangering paddlers. Two girls had to be rescued close to the rocks as it is.
The SUP Surfing Finals
Sadly, we could not display what our sup-surfing was really about due to the conditions, but the winners probably still came to the fore.

“Today the team got on the water for the first team since arriving yesterday. We had a window period from 2pm where we were allowed to paddle the course with a lot of the buoys already laid out it was great to get a feel for where we will be racing. The team all commented on the beauty of the city from the water it’s a truly beautiful place to paddle . The team are in high spirits and are adjusting well to life in Copenhagen dodging cyclists and taking in the culture of the city.” – Jackie LeCourt De Billot – Captain
