Mo shows the surfers what is possible on a SUP and the future of SUP surfing.Mo is riding some of the smallest boards on the tour and many of them are around 23′-24′ wide. The boards are so small that you can duck dive them and Mo can do it standing up… it's nuts! A new "Non-Stop Tour" division could be added for this year's SUP 11 City Tour SUPracer - The longest, most grueling SUP race in the world, the SUP 11 City Tour in the Netherlands, just got a whole lot harder. As if paddling 220kms over five separate stages wasn't enough, the organisers will be adding a new "Non-Stop Tour" division to this year's 11 Cities event. Not sure if the pros such as Bart de Zwart and Peter Bartl will enter the traditional five stage, five day option, or if this new non-stop tor will become the most prestigious division. Whoever enters this is going to need some stamina.
