The ultimate showdown of the 2025 season is just around the corner!
On November 29–30, 2025, Praia do Ouro in Sesimbra, Portugal, will host the SESIMBRA SUP FESTIVAL SUP RACE 2025 — two days you won’t want to miss.
Framed by dramatic coastal cliffs, the power of the Atlantic, and the authentic spirit of Sesimbra’s fishing heritage, this festival will unite Europe’s top paddlers for a vibrant weekend of racing, camaraderie, and pure stoke.
Held in partnership with the Surf Clube de Sesimbra and proudly featured on the European SUP League (ESL) calendar, the Sesimbra SUP Festival stands as the official season finale of the 2025 European tour — a fitting conclusion to a landmark year for our sport.
