Casper Steinfath Paddles His Javelin 14’0” LE to Another Podium Finish at the Hellenic Sup Cup’s Isthmus Speed Crossing
Naish’s young Danish Viking, Casper Steinfath, paddled straight into 2nd place across the Corinth Canal behind Frenchman, Eric Terrien, at the fifth and final leg of the 2013 Hellenic SUP Cup, the third annual running of the series.
Stretching along the historic Corinth Canal, the race attracted over 120 eager locals, who were keen to paddle one of the most interesting SUP race courses in the world as well as rub shoulders with two guys that are helping put Europe on the SUP racing map.
The Corinth Canal is not only a fairly historical spot, it’s also over 6km long and a mere 20m wide at its base. It’s also dead straight, making the Hellenic SUP Cup’s Isthmus Speed Crossing perhaps the straightest Stand Up Paddle race in the world…
Proud of you Casper – way to keep climbing! Congrats also goes out to all the other competitors who took part in this one-of-a-kind race!
