Simon and Nick have been paddling for over 6 years and have both done SUP instructor certification courses. In those years they have both paddled a long way and have interviewed a multitude of very experienced paddlers on the SUPfm podcast.

They discuss their learning curves and offer up some tips for beginners on how to paddle more effectively and hopefully inspire you to get to the next level of stand up paddling. Good luck!
