tand-up paddleboarding
(aka SUP) has become huge in recent years. Like some beginner-friendly lovechild of surfing and kayaking, it’s got so big that you can’t visit a lake or beach on a calm day without seeing a few SUP-ers (suppers?) gliding gently by.
If you’re keen to see what the fuss is about, Wave’s Woody SUP is the perfect way to dip your toes in the water – metaphorically and literally. Sold in a complete package that contains an inflatable SUP with a quick-release fin, paddle, coiled ankle leash, dual-action pump and puncture repair kit, plus a sturdy backpack to store it all in, this is a killer starter pack at an accessible price.
