October 18th 2012

New Zealand’s Annabel Anderson confirmed her breakthrough season on the international stand up paddling circuit taking the double at the Stand Up World Series Finals at Turtle Bay Resort on the North Shore of Oahu in Hawaii this past weekend.

Anderson who spent 2011 making podiums across the globe in every major event went into the finals as headline favorite following her dominating performance at the Rainbow Sandals Gerry Lopez Battle of the Paddle in Dana Point, California two weeks ago.

With wins racked up at five stops on the 2012 tour in Namotu, Fiji; Oleron, France; Turtle Bay, Hawaii; Chicago, USA and Cocoa Beach, USA, Anderson has been the lead females internationally including overall victories over her male counterparts on three separate occasions this year.

The Stand Up World Series Finals were once again staged on Oahu’s North shore at Turtle Bay Resort.
