Blog #22 – shower dodging
OK, in a bit of a departure from this summer's sweltering standards, we may not have had such amazing paddleboarding conditions this last week, yet we've still managed to work around the weather for a couple of great outings – our most popular inland SUP Club yet on Wednesday, then a storming Race Club at Two Tree...

Blog #19 – we continue…
We’ve had another busy week paddleboarding in this amazing heatwave – more SUP Club, more Race Club, more events, and more lessons… We continued last Wednesday evening with a bit of a breezy SUP Club down the Ray from Two Tree Island.

Blog #15 – in full swing…
With midsummer’s day just a week away (!) our SUP school is in full swing right now – and we’re fresh back from a big weekend of paddleboard lessons up at Paper Mill Lock on the River Chelmer. In two days we’ve taught 24 paddlers over five courses – two Learn to SUP sessions on Saturday, followed...
Blog #14 – Norfolk Ultra 2018
We’ve had yet another full-on weekend – this time, it’s been all about long-distance racing as Dunc was competing at the 70km UK SUP Norfolk Ultra 2-day endurance event. Plus his awesome support crew of El, Kev, Barry and Steve also helped steward the event – and in doing so they really did SUPsect very proud!...
