BIC SUP ambassador and Supconnect Community Assistant Alex Mauer gives his personal opinion and experience from the 2015 GoPro Mountain SUP Games. Read his take on the event and the courses here.

As a SUP athlete I love events that test my skill on the water and push my abilities to new levels. I want to be as well rounded of an athlete as I can be. This event is growing every year and hosts races that test your SUP skills on many levels. This review is based upon my racing experience and is my personal opinion.

Australia's Travis Grant and New Zealander Annabel Anderson took 1st Place in the Men's and Women's divisions of "The Graveyard" at the 2015 Carolina Cup. In its 5th edition, it is now becoming evident that if this is not the world's largest SUP Race (750+ Racers this year,) it is probably the most technical.

In another exciting finish to the highly anticipated Carolina Cup we saw two-time Carolina Cup winner Annabel Anderson make it a three-peat and we saw three-time champ Danny Ching fall short to an in-form Travis Grant.
