6th Open of SUP in Torrevieja: Mediterranean Circuit SUP Race 2018

SUP Race 2018 Torrevieja Surf

Just a couple of days ago we said goodbye to the winter daytime to welcome the summer one. But the season of Mediterranean Circuit SUP Race 2018  (SUP CMS) started 3 weeks ago. And it will accompany us with its 13 stages through all the spring, with a short break in the middle of the summer and then again until the middle of autumn. SUP CMS has become a very important competition for paddle boarding in the Mediterranean area. Its events do not only attract regional athletes, but also professional riders from all over Spain.

The 1st stage of CMS SUP Race 2018 was hosted by República SUP in Alicante on March 4th. This event broke all the records for a first CMS SUP Race stage with its 120 registrations. Also Pepe Oltra Sans - Kundaka Rider and Champion of Spain - participated in this first stage. 

The 2nd stage of CMS SUP Race 2018 will take place on April 22 in Torrevieja and will be organized by our club Torrevieja Surf. Maybe you have realized that this is not a very typical date for us to held this event. This year we have decided to change the custom. Instead of the end of September, as we have done since the first competition that we organized in 2013, we passed it to April. Do the riders in the early stages face the challenge with more energy than at the end of the season? What do you think?

Below you can find all the information about this 2nd event. Keep in mind that the only way to get registered for it is through the Crono4Sports website. There you will also find all the information about the categories, circuits, distances and other relevant data.

Join us as a spectator or as a participant on April 22 at the beach of La Mata! We will wait for you!

The Star of the Day

As some of you already know, tomorrow on the 8th of June there will be a Doors Open Day organised by the Department of Tourism of the City of Torrevieja. The goal of this event is to introduce to you all the different nautical activities that you can do in different sports clubs of Torrevieja. Among the tomorrow's activities you will be offered kayaking, paddle boarding, flyboard, parasailing, diving and many others. All of them with a discount of 50%.

And from our school Torrevieja Surf we have prepared a special surprise for tomorrow - it will be our personal star of the day. And we are talking indeed about a star ⭐ 😉

You have probably seen already that we have a new activity this season - the SUP Yoga. And now finally we've got our inflatable star that makes the practice of SUP Yoga more comfortable and easy for the students.

How does the SUP Yoga star work? It is a big round paddle board that has curves around its entire perimeter. The normal SUP boards that we all know are anchored in these curves. Our star allows to attach up to 8 paddle boards. This way all the students see the instructor and the boards always remain in their place.

You can find more info about SUP Yoga here

Have we convinced you to try it? Tomorrow will be your day to start practicing SUP Yoga!

Aloha 🤙
