Reputed as one of the most challenging, but also spectacular courses, the long distance race in Oleron seperated the men from the boys, but also one woman from the men!

Annabel Anderson (Starboard) stormed to an incredible victory more than 6 minutes ahead of the next placed athlete who is no novice himself, widely regarded as one of Europe's leading talents (finished second in the long distance at the World Series stop in La Torche), Gaetan Sene (Starboard).  An incredible performance from this leading female athlete who is on a phenomenal run right now as she heads straight out to Chicago for Pacifico's Chicago World Paddle Challenge presented by Starboard.

In 3rd place was Greg Closier from Brittany, who was also in the top finishers in the World Series La Torche, but missed the last mark causing him a DSQ back in May, seeking redemption here at the second European leg of the Stand Up World Series in Oleron.
