Please help us support the RNLI by visiting the GBSUP website to donate – you can even do your own personal or team challenge to help out , just like Lauren Newman-Warren , who looks after the GBSUP social media . She recently raised over £ 600 by pushing herself out of her comfort zone to swim / SUP / run triathlon . What an achievement and a great fundraiser !
GBSUP will be welcoming the RNLI team to some of their events to raise funds and awareness – we can ’ t wait to meet them .
Club focus
Belonging to a great SUP Club is the key to making you a better and safer paddler and a stronger racer – here are two clubs who fulfil that brief . We hear first from Anna Little of the Northern SUP Race Club :
Northern SUP Race team ’ s motto is ‘ dream , believe , commit , achieve !’ We train twice a week in the north east of England , inspiring paddlers to work hard and race on their paddleboards .
We have a great friendly atmosphere and paddlers of all abilities . We follow a training programme , regularly do time trails , intervals , distance and race tactics . Club members progress quickly in their skills and speed .
The support and joy the club gives people is outstanding . For more information , please find us on FB NORTHERN SUP RACE CLUB or anna @ annalittle . co . uk .
