SUP Journey around Puerto Rico

This spring, Mike Simpson and Meldrick Velez, two determined and skilled paddlers, decided to navigate around Puerto Rico using their SUP boards. They prepared their gear and started their incredible journey. And on March the 2nd they completed their quest.

They completed their 278-mile expedition, but not without facing a few challenges, such as rare wind directions, harsh currents and big, messy seas. But they also had the chance to paddle in perfect conditions and enjoy the exotic beauty of the island.

What was originally expected to be a 10-day paddle, extended to sixteen. The riders paddled downwind paddled for 35 miles at a time and they had a trip of a lifetime. And now you can check out the highlights of their expedition in the clip below.
