SUP Photos of the Week: 9/23–9/29

It was once again a busy week for SUPpers all over the world. Charity events and ISA sanctioned races made way for a memorable end to the SUP season. All eyes were on the Pacific Paddle Games held in Dana Point California. Other events like the Big Ben Race in London and the Sunday x3 Paddle Race Series in San Diego, California were also more than photo worthy. Here are last week’s best snapshots, including great photos from PPG 2017.
