The health and fitness benefits very much talked about, SUP can offer you an  effective all over body workout and a perfect way to destress, Billy has enjoyed some of these benefits “I find it an excellent activity which gives me the opportunity to continue participating in water sports whilst limiting the impact on my body. Since joining I have lost 22lbs in weight. This was an unexpected but welcome benefit.”
