Werner Paddle'S Pro-Staff, Bridgett Howard, Long Branch Lake in Middle Tennessee Werner - Ever been overwhelmed with the amount of 'fishy' water to be worked? Stumps, points, rock walls - oh my!

River SUPing in Mexico with Aaron Koch Boarders Magazine - Nine years ago I had the urge to escape the cold winters of Kentucky. Granted, KY winters are not that cold, I just couldn't handle kayaking in the cold water. Those days I didn't know anything about SUP or any kind of paddle boarding. The Carolina Cup - 2014 Riviera Paddlesurf - The Carolina Cup went off last weekend bigger than ever. It has become one of the biggest races in the U.S. with over 700 participants. There were races for all ages and skill levels. New Packraft Alpacka Yak Inflatable Kayaks & Packrafts - Just in time for the lovely spring we're having (down south at least), I finally got my 2014 model Yak which I ordered four months ago, at the tail end of a sale. My three-year old Yak sold surprisingly easily over Christmas so this new boat will end up costing me only fifty quid more. Introducing SIC Downwind Month (Because Nothing Beats Riding Those Bumps…) SUPracer - I'm stoked to announce we've partnered with the crew at SIC to highlight one of the biggest, best and funnest parts of the SUP racing season: Downwind Month . And now thanks to SIC we're going to be delivering all things downwinder over the next few months. The focus will naturally be on Hawaii, the traditional home of downwind racing, though we'll be highlighting some of the best downwind runs around the world as well. Carolina Cup Action SUP Magazine - The annual Carolina Cup in Wrightsville Beach, N.C. was a soul-breaker for paddlers who weren't prepared to tackle the 13-mile course that featured windy backwaters of the intracoastal, tidal current and choppy seas. While Danny Ching and Annabel Anderson came out victorious, the field was stacked with fantastic paddlers. May First SUP session Atlantic Paddle Surfing - Was greeted to some fun waves this morning. I think it was unexpected that there were only four of us out there, all on the SUP's. Jamie Jesse Scott and I shared some perfectly groomed 2-3 ft waves.
