My favorite race of the year is the Nelo Summer Challenge, 21 km run in Northern Portugal, usually with perfect conditions and with a few hundreds riders with surfskies (like legends Oscar Chalupksy, Jesper Mocke and... Michael Booth!!!), OC1 and SUPs.
Unfortunatly the wind was absent during the 3 day waiting period and I had to paddle the whole run with the Bullet 17'4. Despite the massive effort I was always close to the the top 3 finishers (riding All-Stars).
The day after the waiting period the wind returned and it's been like that the whole week (and next weeek to). This is a solo run between work (in Matosinhos where I have the SUP center) and Miramar (just below the city of Porto), where I live. I just had to take with me the keys to the house, some flippers and the rest of the safety equipment (cellphone, double leash, impact vest and screw driver).
Hope you guys enjoy.
