Reality Check: Inside the tube at Teahupo'o, the scientific benefits of cold water, and the hidden traps of sup touring. Go into the Arctic, paddle around Easter Island and discover the softer side of Maui. And we ask is longboarding a retro throwback or the future of style?
Nature's Training Schedule
The concept of periodisation will be a familiar one to anyone who has trained for sup racing, or in fact, any athletic sport.

Towards Salvation
For their eco-ride series âThe Green Waveâ, Carine and Manu and their two daughters went on a trip to document an inspiring new initiative: in the Chocó region of the Pacific coast of Colombia, surfing has become a form of therapy as a means to heal young kidsâ traumas from often violent pasts. They discovered a project that goes right to the heart of the community. .

Reality Check
Itâs fair to say that the average surfer these days is more desensitised to the idea of heavy waves than the average surfer of twenty years ago. Thatâs not because people are necessarily surfing heavier waves; Philip Edwards first surfed 6ftPipeline way over half a century ago in 1961. But because weâre seeing a lot more of it. It does make you wonder, could I do it? Could I sell the house and live in the tube? What does it take to make a wave at one of surfingâs ultimate proving grounds? The wave in these photos in particular has held fascination since it exploded into the pages of surf mags as âthe beast with no backâ; sucking up from below sea level to throw surreal submarine tubes. We spoke to Benoit Carpentier and Shakira Westdorp (fresh from taking the womenâs sup surf world title in China) on the technicality and reality of making it out aliveâŠ

Just Another Place To Fall In LOve
I think everyone knows that Maui is the final word for people who have at least two ways of propelling their boards across water. If you have not been there yet, you definitely should, itâs not all Jaws and nuclear force winds on the spiritual home of stand up. Take your board and slip into some moments of pleasure.

Length Matters
SUP is embracing a new wave of âlongboardâ style shapes, retro hype or a glide worth catching? Finn Mullen muses over SUPâs latest lust for logging 2.0.

Arctic Light
This year winter came early for me. I found it in the frozen archipelago of Svalbard; hunkered in the Norwegian Sea between the northern cap of Norway and the North Pole. I have to say it really couldnât come soon enough; Svalbard is in my heart and I feel at home in this ice world.

Catch The Sun
Itâs fair to say, for as long as weâve had paddleboarding weâve also had digital photography. Weâre now at a stage where weâre spoilt for choice with incredible optics on our phones, gimbals, affordable drones and DSLRs but a good photo wonât take itself. The adventure of photography is discovering new locations, perspectives, times of day even, and capturing that moment. Photography can add another element to your paddling sessions, giving direction and purpose to your search, and your session continues long after you get off the water as you work through your images looking for the pot of gold. We spoke to Allen Meyer to get some insight to setting up a great shootâŠ

Wild Pacific
Just over a year ago, four friends with no previous experience of paddle-boarding set themselves the challenge to circumnavigate one of the remotest islands in the world by sup. A year in the planning and with limited experience on their supâs, business executives Neil, Meriel and Mark tackled punishing surf, rolling swells and fickle wind changes as they paddled around Easter Island on their Red Voyager paddle boards.

Legends Of The Fall
Itâs early July in the Durance Valley of south west France. Weâre in the middle of the huge kayak festival and spirits are high as we are about to embark on a sup mission with the great American paddler Dan Gavere and the hometown hero, Frenchie Nico Fayol to run down the Canyon du Fournel atop the Rapid Air 9â6 river board from Fanatic.

Paddle Science #13 Cold Exposure
Why are we so afraid of being cold? As creatures of habit weâll always seek comfort over discomfort, a couple of pillows over none, hot tea rather than tepid coffee and a windproof jacket over a t-shirt. With internal heating, thermostats, Primaloft jackets, merino wool base layers and knitted hats and scarves to keep us warm, itâs hard to actually be cold these days. When you think of the guys who used to climb Everest, right back at the beginning, they wore nothing other than wool jumpers and basic coats. They had none of the technical clothing and gear we have today yet still faced extreme freezing conditions well into the sub-zeros.

Get Psyched #8 Heuristic Traps
What does a rule of thumb, educated guess, guesstimate, and plain old common sense have in common? Theyâre all examples of heuristic thinking: a technique that each of us use quite naturally in everyday life. They allow us to reach an immediate goal without putting too much thought into it, meaning we get stuff done quicker. Heuristic techniques are fine when youâre shopping for groceries for example, but heuristic thinking in critical situations that we as paddlers might find ourselves in, can lead to disaster. This issue, I want to talk about how to recognise and avoid heuristic traps. Otherwise known as, âcheck yourself before you wreck yourself â.

Test Reports - Step On
Of the many advantages that a sup surfer has over their prone brethren, one of the biggest and most fundamental is potential water time. You may live several hours from a breaking wave but unlike a prone surfer, time spent on flat water with your new board is not time wasted.
