✊ Feel the difference with the PowerGrip.
At the recent Synergy Tour event at @braylakewatersports, @chrisk97 shared why the PowerGrip palm handle is a game-changer—designed to sit naturally in your hand for a secure, ergonomic hold that promotes good paddling form, reduces fatigue, and boosts control.
🏁 Whether you’re racing or just want to paddle longer in comfort, better grip = better performance.
Want to feel it for yourself? Join us this for the next Synergy Tour event in Wales at the @gbsup race weekend at the @blackproject Llandegfedd Pursuit, May 17-18, 2025.

“Manuel “Manu” Hoyuela known as the “Fish Kid” (Niño Pez), had an outstanding 2024 season. Hailing from Suances, Spain, Manu has the perfect training playground at his doorstep – world-class waves, a canal for sprint training, and ideal downwind conditions. These diverse elements have shaped him into a versatile and powerful athlete, excelling in both SUP racing and SUP surfing.
In 2024, Manu claimed major titles, including the European Long Distance Championship, a silver medal in the Sprint at both the ISA and ICF Worlds, and a bronze in the Technical Race at the ICF World Championships in Sarasota.” @totalsup

@manu_hoyuela and @bastiangrimm will lead a sprint / tech training session to help you work on your starts, turns, finishes ahead of the technical and sprint races in the afternoon. This is a great opportunity to train alongside two leading athletes and you may even pick up some winning tips! Start, turn, finish, repeat - then put it all into practice in the race in the afternoon.
This is a fun, inclusive, and free session for any @gbsup racers looking to improve their skills and short distance racing.
