Emergency Podcast: ICF World Cup Announcement
This week I'm joined by Sarah 'SUPJunkie' Thornely and others in a special 'LIVE' emergency episode following the announcement of a number of new events by the ICF, including the award of a World Cup event to Torbay, Devon in 2026.
We talk to the man central to the bid, Brendon Prince as well as guests including racers and brands reacting to this epic news for the UK SUP community.
We also talk about Cystic Fibrosis sufferer Rylee Walker's return to complete the Crossing for Cystic Fibrosis this year, and her attempt through kickstarter to raise money for the production of a documentary recording her attempt.
