Are you really safe when you Stand Up Paddleboard (SUP)?
Do you know:
-What to do if the wind changes or the water becomes rough?
-How to choose when to ride an inflatable or hard board?
-What equipment to wear and when?
If not, contact me on andy@surfsteps.co.uk or +44 (0)7941508531 for more info or to book!
Couple of shots from the #ISA / #ASSUP Flat water SUP instructor course I helped run on the shores of Lac Leman (Geneva) near Villenueve from the 31 May- 2 June.
Great times, great people! Thanks Ced and Gael from http://www.assup.ch/ for the piccies and the opportunity to be involved:-)

Saturday 9th Off to the river for a paddle….Bang! Clatter! £$%* Van blew up-I can’t make the surf sup event in Puts! Even worse, might not make it to the Dart….
Hi peeps, a little edit of a session I had on my 12’6″ Starboard ACE race board, my first attempt at editing video-let me know what you think:-)
Totland Pier Isle of Wight, REDy to Roll!
Hi peeps, I’ve got a confession. Yes I’m afraid I’ve travelled to the dark side of SUP………….
Just been over to the Isle of Wight (IOW) last week-no, not that dark side! I tried out the 2015 Red Paddle 14ft Elite INFLATABLE race board (ISUP), shock! Horror!
Blown out to sea!-had to tack back to shore, not so easy for a little guy on a big 17’6″ board:-)
“The (Icon) Classic course doesn’t come without its challenges. Morte-Point (French for Death Point) didn’t get its name without good reason! This headland has a dark history of ship wrecking on its sharp jagged rocks and should only be navigated at certain times of the tide….” (Extracted from http://iconsports.eu/icon-classic-2015/ )
Read on……if ye dare!
Hi all, wanted to get this up a month ago, but work demands have been great but fantastic and fast. Better late than never:-) Thanks to Simon Bassett for most of the sports and team shots, also everyone else who took photos.
Lastly and not leastly I’d like to thank again all those who helped support me in this endeavour-I realise how fortunate I am…  Enjoy!!
The position you put your body in is essential to good paddling perfomance. There’s still a bit of work to do here:-) but where and how?
“Power is nothing without control” -John Morris
Focus should be on the correct technique first and foremost. Using yoga tailored to your sport is a good way of doing this………REALLY?
