While the best paddlers in the world will catch most of the attention at this weekend’s ICF stand up paddling world championships in China, a determined group of athletes from all corners of the globe will also be determined to make their mark on the sport.

One of the veterans of modern-day stand up paddling and one of the most respected international voices in the sport will team up to provide world class livestream commentary at next week’s ICF SUP World Championships in Qingdao, China.

Many of the very best stand up paddlers from around the globe, including World and European champions, are among entries for the 2019 ICF world championships in Qingdao, China, later this month.
