2022 European SUP Champs will be crowned in Denmark

The strong fleet of the best European SUP athletes will be battling for European Championship titles in 2022 in the North Sea as Denmark will host the 2022 ESF EUROSUP. The small fishing town of Hvide Sande will be the heart of the event.

Hvide Sande is known for its versatile conditions to do watersports and has for years been the center of a popular water sports festival named WATERZ. With the roaring North Sea on the west coast and a spectacular fjord, Ringkøbing Fjord, on the east side of the town it is the perfect spot for organizing the European SUP Championship.

The acting president of the European Surfing Federation (ESF) Jean Luc Arassus says:
“The European Surfing Federation would like to thank the Danish Surfing Federation for organizing the 4th European SUP Championship, 27th of August – 3rd of September 2022. This competition allows us to look forward to 2022, after the last two very difficult years that we have gone through together. The organization of the ISA World SUP & Paddleboard Championship in 2017 in Copenhagen was a global success and important in the recognition of SUP within our community.

The experience and skills of the organizers will ensure a high-level event, in race, and in waves. The conditions at this time will allow the national team to express their highest level of performance, and to plan for a second half of 2022 that will be very consistent.

Jean Luc Arassus continuous:
“In the hope that 2022 will bring us many opportunities to meet again, the ESF Board of Directors wishes everybody a very good end of the year, cautious and committed to fight against this coronavirus.”

Also, the president of the Danish Surfing & Rating Federation (DSRF), Jakob Færch, is excited to bring the European Championship on Danish waters:
“We are really looking forward to creating an incredible event for some of the world’s best SUP athletes, spectators, volunteers and partners. In 2017, we made history by organizing a very successful ISA World SUP & Paddleboard Championship which to date remains the biggest ISA Worlds ever with 42 participating countries. With EUROSUP 2022 we will have a similar goal and organize the largest EUROSUP in terms of participation. At the same time, we will create activities for all recreational SUP practitioners and celebrate the huge SUP community that exists in Denmark and Europe”
