Momentum: redefine your limits this winter with the Nordic Paddle Technique, training for dynamic power and surfing above the lip. Walk through Mullaghmore with Finn Mullen, go high altitude paddling in Canada, and prepare for sub-zero expeditions and choose your next performance step-down surfboard....

Instantaneous Acceleration

I often think about personal development in sup as a line on a graph. On the horizontal axis you have time, and on the vertical axis you have performance in whatever style of sup it is you’re into.

Trans Europe Express

Having an inflatable has opened the world up to me. I take my roller bag with my board and paddle on the train, plane or car, no hassle. Whether it be a short adventure or long expedition, I start with Google maps. I can spend almost as long as the trip itself looking at satellite maps of foreign places, planning my next mission. Then I research some background information about the place, the weather, culture, things to see, and once I’ve zeroed in on a start point, offwe go.

The Escape Philosophy

Glistening crystals of light dance upon the azure water. Gnarled olive trees provide shade for the pristine sandy beaches. Enormous marble columns protrude into the sky - contemporary witnesses to ages long past.

Replenish

Road trips sound sexy but often turn out to be comprised of sixteen-hour shifts at the wheel, eyes propped open with caffeine and a blur of service stations and bad food with only glimpses of the exotic. Manuela Jungo and Victor Fernandez found a more compact option with superior gastro-choices on Sardinia.

Cold Shoals

In a sea of daily content it’s becoming increasingly easy to be seduced into believing that the best waves only happen on far-offshores or around specific climatic events like the much fabled 50 year storm in the cult-classic Point Break.

High Altitude Hunting

Jimmy Martinello is a man that is best described as an adventure photographer. When it comes to paddling in mountain lakes, Jim doesn’t merely drive up to the water, unpack and pump up, instead he prefers to hike up and incorporate the sup into a true multi-discipline expedition.

Paddle Technique: It's Not About The Hinge, It's All Torque!

A common method to coach SUP technique is to hinge at the hips, drive power into the water and to stack the shoulders – this is an outdated method but produces some lovely Facebook profile pictures!

Develop Dynamic Strength

SUP is a sport that requires explosive power in the surf, quick reaction times, balance running with the wind and swell on down-winders and long lasting muscular endurance during distance paddles.

Getting above the foam.

One thing that unites all sup surfers is that we all aspire to improve our performance. Usually the journey starts with learning the fundamentals on a 10’6 hard board, but your wave riding potential will significantly increase when you get down to a 9’0” or smaller.

Preparing For Winter

The prospect of dark mornings, dragging yourself back to the gym and laying up your paddling kit is not a cheery one. But why hibernate for the winter when with a bit of preparation, you can still go out paddle boarding?

The Proving Ground

Right here in this photo, you can see our ‘test bay’ of Fistral Beach, with the Goose Rock of Crantock in the distance, and the rocks of North Fistral in the foreground.

There’s no denying this golden hour shot is wonderfully atmospheric, capturing the imagination taking us to our happy place where the water is warm, the waves are perfectly-formed and the scenery is just breath-taking.
