JLID distribution, the company in charge of the distribution of Californian brand Infinity SUP in Europe, has just announced the new joining of Italian SUP racer Federico Esposito within the European Infinity Speed Freak Team.
With hardly two years of SUP Racing experience, Federico, has immediately convinced the JLID crew, closing the 2017 season with a win at the first leg of the Italian âBattle of the Teamâ, which took place last Sunday on December 17th, following a sprint finish against Claudio Nika and a third place for Martino Rogai. The new member of the Speed Freaks was thus able to celebrate in the best way possible his entry into the Infinity / QuickBlade team using the Blackfish 14âČ x 23â combined with the Trifecta 86 oval tapered.
Federico Esposito can be very satisfied with the year that is about to end.

Federico also competed in SUP Surfing earned himself a fifth place at the Italian Championship of Capo Mannu, Sardinia.
