Florida to Europe Crossing!

[Water Monkey]

I am not paddling over but will take more conventional transportation for the start of a month long SUP tour through Europe. I will be doing pro clinics in Amsterdam, Germany and Italy and racing in France and Germany. I can't wait to see what the SUP scene is like over there. Check out updates from Europe starting with a preview here http://watermonkeysup.com/blog/european-sup-tour/

I don't think I will want to leave Lake Garda, Italy. Thermal winds should make for some fun downwinders and kiting!

Sounds like a great trip Chase, enjoy it! From what friends told me from Europe not so many years ago, SUP's were virtually nonexistant in a number of areas. So, it should be a fairly new thing over there. If you go into the rivers stay away from the old water mill hydraulic features. I understand they may not real visible from upstream unless signs, lines have been put up.

Wow! Beautiful picture, I wouldn't want to leave either.
