The Global SUP Community

PLAYAK.COM got fed up with the corporate marketing bullshit. Hyper-mega-X-link-plastic, fins, negative round hulls, etc etc etc. Then some companies sponsor 2000 boaters and surprise, they can show pretty good results over all those competitions. And so we made our own formula, taking into account how many people start in a certain boat in a rodeo. Some of the largest rodeo organisers cooperated and so we can now show the the first totally independent test of how good the boats have actually been doing in 2000. Check it out!

Attention: Only those boats with total scores over 100 are shown here.

The PLAYAK formula takes into account the ranking of each boat and compensates for the number of each boat type that entered the contest.

Ok, less than 100 points are listed here. People were participating in so many different exotic boats that none of them scored over 100. Only the men's K1 results are counted (85 paddlers), the women and juniors both had less than 10 paddlers so these categories are not considered representative.
