So , Autumn is upon us and my feet are aching for my wetsuit boots again, our time on the water is limited in the evenings as the light fades. We have some great SUP pool time activities happening in Penlan leisure centre swansea this season.
For those of you who are keen to keep things coastal – come and top up on your Winter Warmers http://www.standuppaddleboarding.co.uk/sup-accessories/winter-warmers boots, gloves, hats and the all impressive and must have winter accessory DRY ROBE to get changed in !
The swells have already been keeping our beaches busy and the winds tempting me to get downwinding again. Stand up Paddling for 2017 looks to be as exciting as ever with all the brands giving their SUP fleets updates and changes – We’ve already have some 2017 STOCK in store so come and pick up a 17 catalogue.

We kick off with the ever popular SUP Polo – fast and addictive to play
Highly energising and addictively challenging, two teams of 3 battle it out to retrieve the ball with specially made paddles and shoot or throw the ball into the goal at either end of the pool.
The rules of SUP Polo are pretty simple: The field is the full length of the 25m long pool x 15 metres (5 lanes) and it’s three-a-side. You’ve gotta use your paddle to get the ball into the net in order to score. You can’t handle the ball while you’re on your knees or in the water, which is an important point to note because you WILL be in the water during SUP Polo.The halves are usually around 5 minutes each, which sounds short but will seriously tax your lungs: This game is not only fun, it’s also a hell of a good workout.
If SUP polo looks too energetic for you and you fancy something a little more mellow , We are really excited to be introducing our SUP Yoga sessions in association with https://womankindyoga.com/ . or facebook https://www.facebook.com/supyogaswansea

On another note were waiting to hear back about our planning application to extend the shop The SUP HUT version II giving us more space for more boards and we’re hoping to squeeze in a coffee machine and a couch for lazy ramblings on SUP paddling!
