This part of Charlies 3 stage adventure is Stand Up Paddle solo and unsupported from Land’s End to London’s Tower Bridge, nearly 1000km. Charlie set off on 11 Septmeber 2012.

Each day Charlie aims to cover approximately 50 km depending on tide movements and weather conditions. Charlie will be carrying all the supplies and equipement he needs on the paddle board and will be keeping everyone on land updated with regular tweets and status posts, along with a tracker system so you can follow Charlie’s every paddle along the way at Find My Spot

The reason behind this is to help develop kids environmental awareness via a series of events that inspire their imagination and encourage them to participate in water sports and sustainable living.

As the sport evolves so has the equipment. Boards can now range from around 8ft in length for serious SUP Surfers up to 17ft in length for open water, distance racing.
