Zane Schweitzer Claims First Ever European Cup

Europe - 

Zane Schweitzer (Starboard) put on a stellar performance throughout the European Cup presented by Starboard, winning an unprecedented 3 events out of 5, and putting on a solid performance at Stop 3 of the 2014 Stand up World Series in Fehmarn Germany to finish 4th overall.

With an athlete’s 3 best results from the European Cup counting towards the European Cup Title, Zane had already secured the European Cup Title after Finland back in early July, winning the maximum of 3 events. Despite having secured the Title already, Zane still wanted to head south to the Final event of the Series in Rome, but a prior commitment to the Molokai to Oahu crossing meant that he had to miss it.

So a phenomenal performance from this well rounded talent from Maui as he wins the first ever European Cup, presented by Starboard and makes history in this young sport of Stand up Paddling, as his Father and Grandfather did in the sport of windsurfing.

Beyond his accolades on the water, Zane continues to be one of Stand up Paddling’s most colorful ambassadors, and long may that continue. Watch out for Zane as we progress to the second half of the season on the Stand up World Series as he now sits in 3rd place overall, and then on the World Surfing Tour, where he is currently in 5th place.
