For Michael Booth there was no better way to start his European Tour than taking out the win last weekend in the Agios Nikolaos race held in Crete, Greece.
Booth returned to Europe Tuesday prior to the race to attempt to combat jet lag after 27 hours of travel, as well as familiarise himself with the conditions and adjust to the climate change, giving himself the best opportunity to prepare for the race that laid ahead.
“I had a good amount of rest in Perth after Carolina, so I was feeling fresh and really fired up heading over to begin my Euro Tour”, said Booth.
Michael paddled various sections of the course before the race, which he believes gave him confidence and helped him take out the win.

Michael Booth will enter his first stop of European SUP tour for 2018, competing in Agios Nikolaos on the island of Crete, Greece this Sunday 27th May.
Booth will race in the headline event; a 15km ‘elite’ paddle from Agios Panteleimonas Beach and finishing in Agios Nikolaos lagoon.
After a quiet month resetting back home in Perth, Western Australia, Booth travelled 27 hours to Greece to pick up the European Tour at stop four, where he will now spend the next six weeks travelling across Europe, culminating with the London SUP Open on the first weekend of July.
“It was great to have some down time to catch up on some rest, but I’m ready to take on the next six weeks now and I feel extremely grateful to be back in Europe”.
