Race day, record breaking weather?

Geplaatst op door

With low winds and sunshine on this 48th edition will we see the record held by Sean Rice broken? Mads Brandt Pedersen has been  quite close to Sean Rice’s time last year. Falling short only one minute and nine seconds away. The circumstances are favorable, the little wind there is will be pushing the athletes in their backs for a big part of the course today.

Who ever wins today, Mads brandt Pedersen, Hamish Lovemore Jeremy Candy, Adrian Boros, Stephane Boulanger or Miguel Lorenss, too many big guns to mention, will have a fair chance today.

For the ladies we expect a fierce battle between Zsofi-Czellai Voros and Krisztina Bedocs, who will now start along with the master men which will change the dynamics of wash riding for the top women competitors. “The master men will provide us with bigger waves then the light and fast junior boys.” as Zsofi stated.

Geplaatst op door

Dear paddlers,

Under the current COVID regulations the Dutch government have declared, organizing a large scale event is not possible. We sincerely hope that this changes soon in such a manner that we will still be able to organize the 48th edition on the 30th of april 2022. This decision is until now impossible to make and will therefore be revisited by the end of January.

You are being missed!
