![]() ![]() Looks like riding a SUP board (in this case Naish) becomes one of the most popular promo activities around. :-) Anne Marie Reichman for example just has finished the 220 punishing kilometers of the 11-City Tour in just 38 hours (split up over 5 days) on her Naish 12'0'' Glide Stand-up Paddle board. Escorted by her family and boyfriend, Anne Marie fought headwinds, muscle pain and cramps during her challenge, but kept going thanks to a steady regimen of snicker bars, raisin bread, bananas, power endurance drinks and massages. She commented: "It had always been a dream of mine to do this tour, for it has a lot of history and emotional value for me and now I have!" (Photos: Dan Fiske) Tatiana Howard, Marion Raisi and the other girls of the "Butterfly Effect" event in France (actually in La Rochelle last week-end, during its famous boat trade show) suffered a lack of wind and made the SUPs their choice, too. Eight women riders started from the beach of the water sports village with their boards to paddle down to the harbour where were exposed the most beautiful boats of the tradeshow. Marion: "There wasn't that much wind but we just decided to do it with stand up paddles so that we could go into the harbour, into the heart of the event. It was a lot of fun though." ![]() posted by editors at 9/18/2008 05:37:00 PM |
