posted by Christopher Parker, Boss Man


It’s that time of year again, when we look back at twelve whole months of Stand Up Paddle races and decide who the top performers were.

The Top 12 of 2012 attempts to rank the world’s elite Stand Up Paddlers based on their performances over the past twelve months. That’s no easy feat: There are a LOT of good SUP athletes out there. In fact we had a short-list of 35 guys when we were trying to calculate our Top 12, and honestly, almost all of them could have been squeezed onto the final list if we slightly moved the criteria one way of the other.

But who made the final list? And who scored the #1 spot? Click through to find out…   → READ MORE

What a crazy weekend.. the 2012 Battle of the Paddle has come to a close, but competitors, spectators and fans will be talking about this event for months and years to come.

How’s this classic shot from the 2011 Battle of the Paddle? Connor Baxter, Jamie Mitchell and Danny Ching all surfing the same wave in. These guys made an early break from the rest of the field and were virtually in a race of their own. Interestingly enough, this pic shows the exact finishing order (Connor was 1st, Jamie 2nd, Danny 3rd).

It’s almost time to do it all again. The world’s best are starting to arrive in Southern California and the 2012 Battle of the Paddle @ Dana Point is only eight days away…   → READ MORE
