[RESULTS] Hennessey’s World SUP Championships In Cabo, Mexico (UPDATE: Day 2 Results Available)

posted by Christopher Parker, Boss Man

The 2012 Hennessey’s World SUP Championships are under way in Cabo, Mexico right now. Several of the world’s finest are in town to duke it out for the $16.5k in cash prizes and title of WPA World Champ. Saturday was the 11 mile P2P (Punta Gorda to Palmilla) Distance Race, while Sunday sees the 4 mile Elite race.

The Distance Race was taken out by Chase Kosterlitz and Jenny Kalmbach. Chase narrowly beat home Fernando Stalla, while Jenny blitzed the women’s field (and most of the men’s). Stalla took revenge in the Elite Race though, claiming the victory as well as the overall championship title after Kosterlitz finished 3rd, behind Ryan Helm.

Fun Times In Mexico This Weekend: Hennessey’s World SUP Champs At Cabo

posted by Christopher Parker, Boss Man

One of the original fixtures on the SUP racing circuit, the Hennessey’s World SUP Championships, is on again this weekend. The 2012 Champs have moved South from their traditional Californian home, all the way down to Cabo San Lucas in Mexico. This year the event has also joined forces with the Los Cabos Classic to make for a full on weekend of Stand Up Paddle racing.

Several of the world’s best paddlers will be in town and there’s a pretty sizeable prize purse of $16,500 on the line, so expect a very solid level of competition. As far as the races go, the highlights will be the 11 miler from Punta Gorda to Palmilla and the 4 mile Elite race, though seeing it’s Mexico, and it’s the beach, and there’s a couple of hundred stoked athletes in town… the real highlights will probably happen off the water.   → READ MORE
