We are proud to present to you this second issue of SUP World Mag, offering in a vivid, photo-focused format the many ways you can enjoy time on your stand up board. We also wanted to keep an introductory feel, to welcome newcomers and enthusiasts from other paddlesports to SUP; and since most of you are new to stand up paddling, we once again added over 14 pages of gear at the end of the magazine, so you can get the best info for choosing your equipment.
This second issue of SUP World Mag is largely the result of trust placed in our work by some of the most influential figures in this relatively new sport: Legendary waterman Robby Naish, top whitewater kayaking athletes turned SUP pioneers—Dan Gavere and Corran Addison—not to mention top SUP athletes Michi Schweiger and Nikki Gregg. We would like to thanks them all!...
