The APP World Tour is proud to bring stop number 5 of the 2022 circuit to the wonderful city of Alicante in Spain from the 9th to the 11th of December for what will be an event to remember. Playa del Postiguet in the heart of the old town of Alicante, will provide an epic venue for the World’s best SUP racers at the foot of the beautiful Santa Barbara Castle.
Beyond the unique cultural experience on offer in Alicante to explore this historic center, conditions on the water are ideal for paddlers of all levels, providing an accessible and competitive arena for all (from 3km to 11km). In addition, the APP World Tour Pool will provide a very controlled entry point for newcomers to the sport, as well as the ideal venue for SUP Yoga and Pilates, while the festival zone will provide a social gathering point for paddlers and visitors alike. As a result, the Alicante SUP Open will really have something for everyone.
It is also worth noting that Alicante is home to one of the most vibrant up and coming SUP communities, with Paddle Clubs thriving across the region, all combining to create one of the most engaged young racing communities in Europe. It will doubtless provide some spectacular racing to close the calendar year in style and as the penultimate stop of the APP’s season and ideal lead into the climactic Final in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
