Team 2XS have just got back from the Stanfords launch party in Covent Garden of Simon’s book ‘Stand Up Paddleboarding: A Beginner’s Guide’. It was great to see so many people supporting the event, and to chat to beginners encouraging them into the sport.

Stand Up Paddleboarding or “SUP” has taken the world by storm and is now the fastest growing sport worldwide. It’s easy to see why: with comparatively low cost, the convenience of inflatable boards and the fact that you can just get on and go; but these are only just some of the reasons.

It’s the first UK how-to book on paddleboarding and covers everything you need to know about getting started. He also describes the different types of paddleboarding from touring and exploring, racing, surfing and yoga / fitness.
