As 2008 gets into full swing and the weather is warming up dont miss the boat…..

Or should I say dont miss the Stand Up Paddle Boarding…. I cant believe that it’s almost a year since I started my blog and how much I have got hooked on the whole SUP thing…. Waves, flat water I don’t care as long as I’m on the water, and I have a feeling that I will be trying the distance enduro thing this year too…

To pass on the stoke of Stand Up Paddling to others I am doing free come and try demos with some basic tuition thrown in for good measure…. once you have got the bug I am offering free Airhead SUP club membership to anyone who wants to join…. sounds great and you really get is the chance to paddle with others who enjoy the sport… to pass on tips and tricks and the odd BBQ on the beach and generally have a great time….

The Airhead Paddle Boarding

For the first demo session we will provide you with Board, Paddle and some basic tips to get you out and having a go…. any excuse to get me on the water.

So don’t miss the Stand Up Paddle Boarding for 2008 and give me the excuse to get out on the water…..

More from the Airhead soon…. just try and stop me
