The first big SUP race of 2013 has just wrapped up in Miami, Florida, with Danny Ching and Candice Appleby taking out the Orange Bowl Paddle Championship. Ryan Helm, Brennan Rose, Krisztina Zur and Bailey Rosen also made the podium in the Elite Race, while Fernando Stalla won the sprints.

Many of the world’s best were in town, thanks in large part to the big Surf Expo trade show over in Florida last week, so the starting list of competitors was very solid. In total there were almost 200 paddlers on the start line, which could very well be a record for SUP racing in Florida.

Stoked to see Danny and Candice start 2013 the same way they finished 2012, though it’s also great to see some up and coming names.

Ryan Helm is no youngster at 38, but he’s still a relative rookie in the sport of SUP racing. The Floridian (who now lives in Mexico) only started racing in late 2011, less than 18 months ago, but has already made an impact in several big events. Last month Ryan scored a coveted spot in the Top 12 of 2012 and seems to be carrying that form into the new year. On the weekend, Ryan was the only guy who got close to Danny Ching, finishing only just over a minute behind the champ and three minutes ahead of third place (Brennan Rose).

A couple of other great performances came on the women’s side; Krisztina Zur – the Olympic Gold medallist – took the fight right up to Candice Appleby, while young bright-spark Bailey Rosen took third and appears to have a very solid future in store. Bailey also backed up her Elite Race performance by winning the SUP sprints in the afternoon.

Huge credit also goes to Fernando Stalla, who’s one of the first guys to ever beat Jim Terrell in a short course SUP sprint race. Jimmy is a 4-time Olympic sprint canoer and despite pushing well past 40, he’s almost impossible to beat on a SUP over short distances. On Sunday afternoon though it was Fernando 1st, Jim 2nd.
