This Weekend’s Results: APP World Tour’s Japan Pro Am, Paddle Imua, Battle of the Thames…

It was another great Stand Up Paddle weekend. Between the APP World Tour’s Japan Pro Am, the French Cup 12’6 on the île de Ré, the Paddle Imua race in Hawaii, the Air Tahiti Nui Paddle Royal Race, French SUP Surf Cup and the Battle of the Thames in London, there was certainly no chance of getting bored!

APP World Tour’s Japan Pro Am

Day 1- Long Distance:

Sonni Honscheid and Connor Baxter, winners of the APP World Tour’s Japan Pro Am long distance race.

A word of the racers and the founder of the APP World Tour after the first race:

Connor Baxter: “Today’s distance race was by far some of the toughest conditions I have competed in for a while. It was 10 1/2 kilometers with gusts up to 30 knots on our side. There are some small bumps to be had but a lot of work. Mo and I hammered from start to finish and was lucky to squeeze into first on the beach run!”

Sonni Hönscheid: “”The APP Longdistance here in Enoshima, was a great race. Hard conditions with a lot of wind. We had quite a few buoys turns, even in the waves which made the whole race even more interesting. I had an ok start, but I was able to take the lead before the first buoy. I used my superlap at the last lap. I’m really happy to race here in Japan, the people a really enthusiastic about watersports and it’s nice to share this passion”

Battle of the Thames (London)

James Van Drunen, winner of the race: “The conditions of the race was very different from last years BOTT (2016) with warm weather and not a cloud in the sky but for this year it was very cold with strong freezing wind. I’m not a big fan of the cold weather but it was race day and had to go give it all. I’m very happy to win this amazing race that I have been training hard for and looking forward to my next stop in Namur, Belgium.”
