UK SUP is steadily growing but it hasn’t quite
reached the heady heights it was predicted to
(yet). Why do you think this is?
Let’s face it, the UK is a cold Northern Hemisphere country with volatile
weather and unpredictable sea states. To get to a good level of
proficiency you have to be prepared to deal with this in pursuit of your
fun. It’s not for everyone is it? Expense is a factor too, not just the cost of
equipment but the secondary costs such as fuel and an investment of
time. The economic situation has been a factor too. The rewards are
worth it though don’t you think?
