Hey there, fellow SUPers! We’re thrilled to share some exciting news with you all. Our recent feature in SUP Mag UK’s Coaching Special is now hitting the pages of this month’s issue.

I’m often asked what the difference is between SUPing and other sports like kayaking, canoeing or surfing and why should people try paddle boarding over other activities?

We decided to go on a little road trip. Starting in San Diego, Anthony and I headed up the Californian coast catching some surf, through Oregon exploring some fantastic rivers along the way, landing in Portland. There’s so much i want to tell you…
