SUP Photos of the Week: 9/2–9/8

Last week was a busy one. Aside from Hurricane Harvey and Irma ravaging throughout the US east coast, several SUP events graced North America. The 4th Annual Butterfly Effect, Tahoe Cup #3 Tahoe Fall Classic, and Claytor Lake SUP Race 2017 were a huge success. Outside the American soil, several ISA sanctioned races also made a huge splash. Not to mention the recently concluded 2017 ISA World SUP and Paddleboard Championship held at Vorupør & Copenhagen, Denmark. Here are last week’s best snapshots.
