Interview: SUP Mag UK Do you have any exclusive perks available for only BaySUP members – if so what are these? Once you join you’ll get access to discounts in local watersports shops and have access to club boards and paddles. We have also started a training membership this year run by the one and only Ryan ‘Coach’ James. Could prospective sign ups be members of more than one club? Yep, we have several members who are part of other clubs. As BaySUP was one of the first clubs around, many people joined from different areas but they have since started clubs of their own, which is fantastic. Who are the stars of BaySUP (all disciplines) and how do you think the club environment has contributed to their progression? That depends on ‘stars’ of what; like Matt French is a star at drinking ale and always excels himself and pushes himself to the limit on all club trips. Mark Slater’s moves on the dance floor are a sight to be seen! Seriously though, BaySUP has some amazing paddlers, obviously we have Ryan James who is an awesome athlete and Pete Holliday. Mark Slater and Jo Hamilton-Vale are also up there but we have so many great paddlers within the club. Watch out this year for young gun Charlie Gridley at the race line. 69 s t a n d u p p a d d l e m a g u k
