3. Perrin In St. Thomas
Heat Score - 77
Ultra-marathon paddler and super-human, Shane Perrin, recently completed another phenomenal journey, circumnavigating the US Virgin Islands of St. Thomas and St. John. One of his sponsors, Vertical Oar, is in the process of establishing an adventure race in the Virgin Islands; an event that resembles the lovechild of Survivor and the Amazing Race. It's an exciting prospect and definitely something we'd be interested in watching when it gets off the ground.

1. SUP Malaysia
Heat Score - 82
Last week's top story featured Fanatic International team rider, Kyron Rathbone,surfing the Malaysian tidal bore between Bakong and Sri Aman. It's far from your average SUP travel destination, but the rewards for going off the beaten tack and taking risks are (more often than not) great. This incredible clip produced by Clément Gargoullaud shows Kyron scoring a 28 minute ride on walls of chocolate colored water, rolling across the South East Asian countryside.
