Good highlights reel from the recent Presqu’île Paddle Race in France, where many of the country’s finest were on display. After a relatively poor downwind season, the locals were itching for some wind and that’s exactly what they got. Plenty of bumps were on offer, turning this into one of the best races of the year.

Helps if you can speak French, as there’s just as much interviews and talking as there is action, but either way it’s a good little insight into one of the hubs of Stand Up Paddling in Europe.

Although May/June is the main time for SUP racing in Euroland, the region has plenty of SUP races throughout the year, especially in the hot-spots such as France.
