As we reach the mid point (ish) of Season Two we take a departure from our usual interview format with a episode we've wanted to do for a while...our favourite SUP and water books.

Whether it's getting some holiday reading or something to keep you satisfied if you're not able to get out onto the water, in this episode we discuss our favourites : if you want to be inspired by adventure and a mammoth trip, find some great paddle spots, building your skills by interpreting water better or just to find out why we have such a connection getting onto the water.

Check out the list below:

Matt Crofton: Mighty

Laird Hamilton: Force of Nature

Laird Hamilton: Liferider

Lizzie Carr: Paddleboarding Britain

Fiona Quinn: Ignore the Fear

Tristan Gooley: How To Read Water: Clues & Patterns from Puddles to the Sea
