Italia Surf Expo welcomes the final leg of the European Cup presented by Starboard
After an epic 4 stops on the European Cup presented by Starboard, we now head to Santa Severa Beach in Rome, Italy for the Final stop of the Cup and the $10,000 World Challenger Series event to take place this weekend.

This year, the World Challenger Series event will also serve as the Finals for the European Cup presented by Starboard, closing what has been an amazing 2 months of racing.
It all started in Bilbao in the Basque Country of Spain, then headed to Oleron Island in France, Sieravuori in Finland, then Fehmarn this past weekend for the Camp David World Cup of SUP, as it all culminates this weekend in Rome for an extremely fitting festival event.
