The Victoria Cup, the 2016 Stand Up World Series season kick’s off this morning in Japan with the exciting new inclusion of the ‘Super Lap’ in the Distance Course on Day 1 of the Victoria Cup. The Super lap will provide an increased element of strategy for this flat water distance course, that will see athletes round 3 regular laps right in front of the spectators turning up to watch the action, with the super lap serving as a shorter lap that athletes can choose to run at any point during the race. Get your Puka Patches ready!
