Combining surfer’s balance skills and wave riding with canoe paddler’s endurance and speed, SUP harkens back to the surfing’s Golden Age, when in the 1940s and ’50s calling yourself a surfer meant mastering a broad variety of ocean skills.
Mr T’s SUP Challenge is Ios’ first stand-up paddle festival with a series of races and demonstrations that offer sea athletes of all ages and skill levels the chance to experience this exciting new sport.
The Ultimate Challenge will be a battle of the pros, with a grand prize of €1000 cash!
