The APP World Tour is proud to be supporting India's first International SUP event prior to the launch of the 2024 APP World Tour. The India Paddle Festival will take place from the 8th - 10th March.
Taking place from the 8th – 10th March, the India Paddle Festival will be the first step in an exciting new development journey for the organization, as we anticipate significant growth in the region over the coming years.
