Naish Takes Over The Podium At Stop #1 Of The 2014 Hellenic SUP Cup In Loutsa

The opening race of the 4^th Hellenic SUP Cup in Greece was held at Loutsa Bay on Sunday July 6, 2014 with a strong 5-mile downwind race.

Team Naish hit the water with confidence as the 20-knot N-NE winds proved challenging, pushing participants of all levels to the limits one stroke at a time.
