Monday the 27th, aka Day 5 of the European SUP Racing Tour presented by NSP. After the SUP Race Cup wrapped up yesterday, everyone split in different directions before planning to regroup in Germany for next weekend’s Lost Mills race.

Trav and Rico went to the French alps for some snowboarding (yes, it’s summer next week), Connor and Bart disappeared on a train for some paddling adventures, Jimmy Terrell flew to Italy for some clinics, the Aussie crew ended up on some random mountain in the Italian countryside, the English lads sat on the beach and enjoyed the sun while I headed for Monaco.

Monaco was amazing… I went up there late last night and met up with ██████ ██████████ ██████ ██ ████ ███ █████ █ ████ ███ ██ ████ █ █████ █ ███████ ██ ████ █ █████ ███ █████. ████ ██ ██████ ███ █████ █ █████ ██ ████ █ █████ █ ████ and then █████ ██████████ ██████ with █████ ██████████ and █████ ██████████ ██████.

The Formula One Grand Prix had just finished so everybody was ██████ ███████ ████ ███ █████ █ ████. █████ █████████ ██████ █████ ████ ███ █████ █ ████ ███ ██ and then █████████ ███ ██████ ████████████ and then █████████ ███ █ ██████ ████ ███ and afterwards we ended up ████████ ███████ ███ █ ███ ███████████ ████ █. As you can imagine it was a pretty amazing experience..!

So that was Day 5.

Tomorrow it’s the epic road trip to Germany where we setup our base for the Lost Mills race this weekend.
