TotalSUP Awards 2023: Results

TotalSUP:

As a public voting initiative, these initial TotalSUP Awards inherently reflect a popularity contest within the stand-up paddling community. We know it, you know it, let’s embrace it! A big shoutout to the riders, event organizers and brands for playing the buzz game with us throughout December. You guys rocked the vote. We received a total of 154,398 unique votes in the 4 weeks of the voting period! Obviously, those with massive friends and followers networks, marketing resources, and creative PR stunts had a slight advantage over the competition. Overall though, the results are a pretty good reflection of what happened on the world’s SUP scene in 2023.
