NON-STOP

MIQUEL ROIGÉ

EXPERIENCE Miquel RoigĂŠ

Mayola Dijksman. Benny. SUP11 City Tour

It is 10:30 in the morning of September 1 when the signal is given to begin my participation in the SUP 11 City Non-Stop; the race for me started three months earlier. Without knowing it, 2018 I had prepared some surprises in my competition calendar, and suddenly I saw myself padling an ultra distance race in France that had nothing planned, but the experience was very good and there began to develop the idea of paddling in Holland in September. The first thing that comes to mind when you think of paddling 200 km without stopping is that it is crazy and it really is, but it was a wonderful madness. I do not know Leeuwarden nor the region of Friesland, I only know that it is a maze of channels and that is where the race runs. Christian Moustakos was also unknown to me, but it was going to be very important in a couple of phases of my adventure. A friend in common put us in contact and the day before the race we were in the village.
