Yet stand up paddle boarding , for many reasons , has seen a big uptick in popularity . There have been tons of new paddlers coming into the fold and hearing the call . As a magazine we ' ve had plenty of wonderful people contribute and get involved as a result . One of SUPM ’ s aims is to impart knowledge and help those who want to progress push on . Throughout the last few months we ' ve published articles that ’ ll hopefully inspire and deliver the aspiration of what can be done within SUP - there ' s plenty ! All our contributors – from those who scribe , to those who click camera shutters ; those who help with getting test equipment to us and those who just lend a listening ear – deserve a massive round of applause . We couldn ' t do it without you so big up ! At SUPM we appreciate all your efforts greatly . Here ’ s to 2021 and hopes of things settling down and becoming much simpler . Cheers !
