With the last race of the SUP Tour Schweiz in Thun my 2017 season came to an end, so it is time for a short recap. You will find all the results listed at the bottom of this article.

I am very happy with my results at the Eurotour races and the Lost Mills race. Those races showed me, that through hard training I can make improvements on my international results and through more specific training become even more competitive next year. The focus there will definitely be on improvements at starts and in choppy conditions, my biggest weaknesses in the Eurotour races.

The races in Switzerland were a tough challenge too, with the old classics like the 18km ICE Race from Interlaken to Thun or new events like the race in Greifensee. Also for the next season a lot of promising paddlers seem to be changing from the short distance to the long distance category, what will make up for far more interesting races in 2018.

I want to thank all my sponsors and supporters for making this crazy season possible. Without this kind of support a season like this would not be possible!

With Fanatic as my new Partner I will have the fastest possible boards for the next season and the best team both in Switzerland and abroad.

But my next step is a few weeks of doing nothing, maybe followed by another running event like the marathon in Lucerne. My winter training will start in November and from January to March I will spend some time to train for the 2018 season and the Kelt Ocean Race in Douarnenez on the Easter weekend.

One of them is mine now!
