The Battle of the Yser

September 21, 2025

The Battle of the Yser – Where History Meets SUP Racing

On Sunday, 21 September 2025, the Belgian SUP Tour heads to a legendary location: Nieuwpoort, on the Yser. This site, remembered for the storm-swept Belgian Long Distance Championships of 2023, is once again the stage for an epic Long Distance race.

The Battle of the Yser is not just any race. It is the penultimate stop of the Belgian SUP Tour and the final round of the BeNeSUP Cup 2025, bringing together the best paddlers from Belgium and the Netherlands for a decisive showdown. Adding to its uniqueness, the race will feature a rabbit start, ensuring a fair and thrilling beginning for all categories.

Competitors will take on a challenging course of ±16 km for Elites and Juniors, while Kids and Fun paddlers will race a shorter ±6 km track. With divisions ranging from Cadets to Grandmasters, everyone has a chance to battle for glory on the historic waters of the Yser.

The day will conclude with not only the daily podium ceremony but also the BeNeSUP Cup season awards, where the champions of 2025 will be crowned.
