It was mainly an Italy vs Spain match in Bari, Italy for stop #1 of the Euro Tour at the BigEye SUP Race this past weekend, with a good pinch of Hungarian troublemaking! Congrats to ICF Junior World Champ Duna Gordillo for her 1st Open victory on the international scene and to Bruno Hasulyo who scores his 3rd win of the 2022 already! Here are the results.

The women’s race was dominated by two very promising young athletes, the 2021 ICF Junior World Champion Duna Gordillo from Spain and 16 year old Cecilia Pampinella from Italy. The ever-experienced Laura Quetglas, winner of the Gla Gla Race 2022, finished in 3rd position. Special mention to the Juniors Velia Pisanelli & Laura Nitti for finishing in the Top 5.
