Cinquième étape du tour de la Guadeloupe: Résumé du parcours de 19 kilomètres entre Bananiers et Rivière-sens par Emilie Dauch. Pour rappel nous publierons au cours des jours suivants, une par une, les étapes de son aventure.
Etape 5 : Bananiers/Rivière-sens (marina de Basse-Terre) : 19 km
28/10/2015 : Nous nous lançons à l’assaut de la Basse-Terre ! Réservation d’un gîte près de la magnifique plage de Malendure et c’est parti pour 3 jours de rame autour de l’île sauvage, avec certaines parties totalement inconnues pour nous. Cette cinquième étape fut une de nos préférées : après quelques centaines de mètres de houle croisée et vent de travers, c’est un super downwind qui nous attend !! De très bons moments de glisse et encore de magnifiques paysages entre les Saintes et la Basse-Terre ! Il nous faudra un peu plus de 3h pour boucler cette étape.

There are SUP stories I come across, often by chance, or through a kind of serendipity, that expand my understanding of the sport I write about. There’s also a distinctive trait in endurance and ultra-endurance athletes: a willingness to go deeper, to become vulnerable and to openly share the motivations behind some of the toughest […]
