As for right now, the first phase has definitely been exciting for the entire sup community.  For the last month paddlers have been able to nominate and vote for some of their favorite, deserving and most inspirational male paddlers. At this point thousands of votes have come in from near and far and paddlers everywhere should feel great about all the support they have given to these amazing men who share the sup stoke with so many.
