I watched nearly the whole event. Apart from a few times where they forgot to track the leaders when it was getting close to the end of some of the races I thought it was pretty good. Showcased Denmark really well. I think Casper could run for office over there and win easy what a great ambassodor for viking power he is and a bloody good paddler. Well done to Ozzie NZ might take that gold of you one day but I think we need some good SUP surfers as we lost too many points there.

I'm biased towards Denmark as well, my brother married a Dane and has lived there with his family for 20yrs, and of course there's our Mary. What I did see was all good but that was just the contest side of it, it's all the behind the scene stuff that makes or breaks something like this. The Danes are known for their brain power and attention to detail so I would be surprised if it didn't run smoothly.

From an online spectator I thought it was pretty good.
Brutally hard flat water racing.
Surfers make the worst conditions look good.

Aussie team were awesome and imagine Peasey, Alana and carter did an awesome job leading them behind the scenes

Where is the next event?
Gold Coast surely.

Yah Team Australia!! Whoo Hoo
great team effort guys.

Watching the final race of the men's technical was incredible. So exciting to view & very happy for Mo Freitas, he found an extra gear when it counted & he's just turned 20!
