SUP fitness classes start next week, with Darren heading up the early morning high intensity paddle sessions.  These sessions are free and kick off at 5.30am but you need your own gear.  Cristiana will be taking the mid-morning classes (9.30am) which will be run a bit like boot camp style but on SUP boards and beach, with a good warm up, out for a paddle and then a cool down on the beach.

You cannot rock straight up to a Fitness session if you have never paddled before.  You must first attend one of our FREE learn to Stand Up Paddle sessions with Darren.  All gear is supplied for the free lesson and you will be taught how to handle the boards and paddle, and start with the correct technique to get the most from your sessions and not suffer injury.

SUP Fitness classes are $100 for 5 sessions and includes board hire.  If you buy your gear off us, you can deduct the cost of any SUP Fitness sessions from the cost of the board (up to $150) and are then welcome to join any of our events, Fitness or training sessions for free.

New from this Saturday we are starting a flat water SUP social group.  This is based around training on 12'6" and 14' race-boards.  Starting at Bath STreet Reserve in Maylands, adjacent to Tranby House at 5.30am, we will paddle up river, around Ron Courtney Island, and back to the start.  Times will be kept with the idea of improving on a weekly basis, so its you against the clock.  All very, very exciting.

And then our biggest news to date, construction of SUP-land has started, in our outside yard.  When finished this will the perfect showroom for our new collection of downwind race boards including the 12'6" x 27 3/4" Fanatic red rocket, our 14' Hobie SUP-Elite Race, and the BOP favourite, 12'6" x 30' wood Fanatic.  We'll also keep our other SUP and surfboards in SUP-land and leave the Kiting gear in the 'old' shop.

Now is the perfect time to try a fun workout and get into shape for Summer.  With the first lesson free, what have you got to lose?
