Association Swiss Stand Up Paddle

ISA world stand up championship 2012 Surf

A big thanks for all the support and encouraging messages we've received over the last days.

Tough
 start for the Swiss team in the SUP Surfing contest but both Steeve 
Fleury and Christophe Querry battled hard in the qualifying rounds of 
the World Championships.

Even if they 
missed the qualification, they're both are happy to have been able to 
represent our "Heimat" wonderful Switzerland, a country with no 
coastline at this historical SUP Surf event.

Here's a quick image resume of what's happening here:

Following
 the Parade of Nations, which was led around the park by Aguerre, 
Peruvian surf legend Hector Velarde, event organizer and Executive 
Director of FENTA, the Peruvian Surfing Federation, Karin Sierralta, the
 president of Club Waikiki, Jose Antonio Osterling and Alan Atkins, vice
 president of the ISA and event technical director, the teams and 
spectators congregated outside the Miraflores Mayor’s Office for the 
remainder of the ceremony.

Each
 team sent a flag bearer and a representative onto the stage for the 
traditional Sands of the World Ceremony, where sands from home beaches 
are poured into a glass container, representing the peaceful gathering 
of nations through the love of surfing. One highlight in particular 
was Robert Etienne, who poured the “sand” for Team Switzerland – which 
was all rocks – and then took a moment to grace the crowd with his 
yodeling ability.
