As the official media partner for this monumental event, TotalSUP is here to guide you on how to catch all the action, from the adrenaline-fueled SUP sprints to the long-distance races and technical challenges.
For this year’s event, fans can tune into Planet Canoe’s YouTube channel, where exclusive live coverage of all major ICF events is available to … paying members (you read that right—controversial as it may sound, please don’t shoot the messenger, just keep reading!). This includes uninterrupted access to the ICF SUP Worlds, alongside commentary from a team of seasoned hosts: Mathieu Astier (yours truly), Sarah Thornely of UK platform SUP Junkie, and Rob Cynowa, US Team Manager, who will join the commentary booth for the Long Distance races. Expect a few special guests too!
To watch the event live, viewers will need to subscribe to the Planet Canoe YouTube channel for €9.99 per month. While this monthly fee grants access to not only the ICF SUP Worlds but also other major ICF competitions throughout the year, the subscription is flexible, with no long-term commitment. For those only interested in the SUP Worlds, the fee can be canceled once the event concludes, making it a practical option for fans seeking live, uninterrupted coverage of this standout event.
