mi first competition
sup race Pedro Gutierrez (SUPCantabria) Edu Vidarte. James Panter. Albert Laborda. Gwen marche. Up Suping
After having spoken in our previous numbers of the necessary items for the sport practice of SUP, stand up paddle, paddle surf or paddle surfing, I have decided to see in the last competitions that I have organized or directed, to make a couple of articles about the first things that we have to take into account when we participate in a competition, either as an amateur or as a federated athlete/competitor. We will start with the modality of RACE that is the one that most people move internationally, because it is the easiest to develop for many reasons, such as: the basis of the discipline (simply paddle on a board), the environments to be developed waves or whitewater rivers are not in every corner, but places with water that you can sail with a SUP board and many more competitions (generally a race event is cheaper and simpler than one of surfing). I will try to do it as schematically as possible, serving both an amateur and a regular competitor. The only difference is that the first will have to be removed or must request or require the organization to be registered in a day accident insurance, while the second will have to be in possession of a federal license or private insurance of the association to which the test belongs
