Shaping a Paddler

Lagoon Watersports searched for 1 person who was up for a 2 month Stand Up Paddle Board challenge, taking them from beginner to racing in their first competition at the British SUP Club Championships.

Harvey Dawkins, Director explains why “We believe that we can train anyone from novice to skilled, so we wanted to put our money where our mouth is and document someone’s real life journey and shape a paddler!” Watersports often looks harder than it is, but with expert instructors and good equipment anyone can give it a go.

The chosen one was Josephine Hook, 36, from Hove. Never having been on the water before, she wanted to take on the challenge and be a role model for her 2 children.
