After five days and covering 220 kilometers (136 miles), the SUP 11-City Tour finished up this past weekend on Saturday, September 8th.  The individual victories went to Bart de Zwart and Laura Quetglas Garcia.

Bart de Zwart arrived safely at a 12:45am on Friday June 1st to "The Spot" in Zandvoort, Holland after crossing the North Sea solo, non-stop and unsupported in almost 39 hours.  This was the first time anyone has attempted and succeeded at paddling from England to Holland!

Bart de Zwart, a 42 year old man from Maui, is setting off on another long distance SUP Journey.  Last summer he completed an unsupported, solo, non-stop SUP trip from the Big Island of Hawaii to Kauai.  This time he will paddle across the North Sea from England to his original homeland of Holland.

Last week we brought you the story of the beginning of one man’s journey down the Mississippi River. This week we highlight the end of a journey.
