6–7 June, 2026 • Tikvara – Bačka Palanka
The first BP SUP Trophy was held on one of the most beautiful calm-water locations in Serbia — Lake Tikvara in Bačka Palanka.
The event was intended for all SUP enthusiasts, from recreational paddlers to advanced competitors. With the support of local clubs and partners, three disciplines were organized: Sprint, Technical Race and Long-Distance Race.
We are delighted to announce the successful completion of the BP SUP Trophy 2026, held on 6 and 7 June at the beautiful Lake Tikvara in Bačka Palanka. This event marks a major milestone for Serbian sport, as it was the first long-distance race in Serbia contested exclusively on SUP boards, setting new standards for the organisation of this rapidly growing sporting discipline. We are especially proud that this was already the second SUP competition organised by SUP NS exclusively for stand-up paddleboarders, continuing our mission to promote this healthy lifestyle.
Special thanks go to the Kayak Federation of Vojvodina and KKK Tarket for their selfless support. Alongside SUP NS 1255, SUPeriška Bačka Palanka and Nenad Miković also took part in co-organising the event. The competition was additionally supported by the Provincial Secretariat for Sports and Youth and by Atlantic Grupa, Capriolo and Kajner.
A particularly valuable feature of the competition was the staging of children’s SUP races, encouraging the youngest participants to be active outdoors. We were honoured to have the medals presented to the most successful competitors by Dragan Zorić, the legendary Serbian kayaker and two-time world champion (gold in the K-2 200 m in 2005 and the K-4 200 m in 2006), who comes from Bačka Palanka.

О идејном решењу логоа
The BP SUP Trophy logo was designed by Nenad Miković and Dejan Beuković, inspired by a stylized photograph of Andrey Kraitor, multiple world champion in SUP paddling. The visual identity captures strength, movement, and the dynamic spirit of competitive stand-up paddling.
