Stand Up Paddleboarding (SUP) is the fastest growing watersport worldwide. The comparatively low cost, the convenience of inflatable boards and the fact that you can just get on and go all add up to its appeal.

But, as with everything, a little bit of knowledge and technique makes the experience so much more enjoyable! That is where this book the first UK how-to book on SUP comes in.

SELLING POINTS: Simon Bassett started stand up paddleboarding in 2006 when there were less than 10 paddleboarders in the UK. In 2007 he set up the British Stand Up Paddle Association (BSUPA), starting to develop the BSUPA teaching scheme and national SUP contests the following year.
