Waterman League today announced the appointment of REDTORCH as their official Digital Agency for its APP World Tour.
"The inaugural APP World Tour will be our sport’s defining moment," says Tristan Boxford, CEO, Waterman League Group.
"It’s the official World Championship Tour for Paddleboarding (also known as Stand Up Paddle): our brand-new identity and direction will bridge the gap between traditional and lifestyle sports."
With a global schedule that includes 8 stops in 5 countries across 3 continents, Tristan believes the partnership with REDTORCH can introduce the sport to a whole new audience.
"The unique selling point of Paddleboarding is that’s it’s a form of surfing you can enjoy anywhere there’s water…surfing comes to the city!" smiles Tristan.

REDTORCH will create digital strategies, increase APP’s fan engagement, and grow live-stream viewing figures.
