The 2014 World Surfski Series

I found information today on Mockepaddling.com that Dean Gardiner from Oceanpaddler.com has confirmed the 2014 World Surfski Series. That is great news. The first of the 11 races starts already next week in Mandurah, Australia.

To bad that there is only one race in Europe, but I know there is a interest in opening up a European Surfski Series. Now there is golden opportunity for the race organizers in Greece, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Netherlands, UK and Scandinavia to get together and arrange a competetive European series. They have to make sure that they not exclude the possitbilites to race both the European and the World Surfski Series though.
