The 2022 Port Adriano SUP Race in Mallorca delivered an exciting and very challenging race last weekend in Mallorca. The Mediterranean Sea pushed everyone in their own corners as the conditions were washing machine-like in El Toro and around the Malgrat islands. (Photos by Georgia Schofield)
In the women’s race, two Spaniards finished in 1st and 2nd, with ISA world champion Esperanza Barreras keeping young local hero Duna Gordillo, winner of last weekend’s Eurotour Stop #1 in Bari, Italy from winning in front of her own crowd. The Italian champ Caterina Stenta who is now split between two sports, Trail running and SUP Racing is back on the international scene in top form in front of the up and coming French racers Anais Guyomarch and Iona Rivet.

In the men’s race, it was a France vs Australia / NSP vs Starboard fight for the top 4 positions with New-Caledonian Titouan Puyo, already on a string of 7 back-to-back victories this year, who delivered a stunning performance and proved at 31 years old he is still the best racer in rough conditions. In doing so, he won a much-expected battle against 3-time Eurotour champion Michael Booth, winner of the high-profile Carolina Cup earlier in April. 17-year-old French SUP Racer Ethan Bry from Britanny managed to keep up with Boothy for most of the race and had the best performance of his young career to date. Australian NSP rider Ty Judson came in 4th. Closing the Top 5 and also on his best international performance to date was 2021 ICF Junior vice-world champion Manuel Hoyuela on a SUNOVA flat water board.
