Reviews for Improving Your Stand Up Paddleboarding: A Guide to Getting the Most out of Your Sup: Touring, Racing, Yoga & Surf

A phenomenal read. ... A really great resource for people who are getting into stand up paddle boarding. Every time you fall short on something there's going to be something in that book you should look at. (April Zilg on SUPfm, December 2022) Good jumping off point in all sorts of ways. If you are invested in improving yourself or others (starting a coaching career in a local SUP school) it will give you plenty of opportunity for extending either your own skills or help you in coaching other people. ... A great book, incredible, a really huge span of stuff, all very interesting and very useful ... I thought it was a great book. I haven't seen anything like that out there like this. (Simon Hutchinson on SUPfm, December 2022) If you paddleboard and want to improve, want to explore other disciplines, want clear instructions as to how you can achieve those goals and want a highly enjoyable, readable book, then you won't go far wrong with Improving Your Stand Up Paddleboarding - Andy and James have tried to be different, they know there are books out there teaching the basics and guide books to show you where to paddle, but with this colourful and engaging book full of step by step photos they have given us all something new. They want to inspire you to try something different and give you the tools to do just that, a certain amount of knowledge of all disciplines and a good level of fitness too. (Paddler Magazine)
