If you’re into racing then there’s no better time to train than during the summer, in small waves. Just pop on a pair of board shorts, a light top, sun cream up and off you go. In fact, thinking about it, you don’t have to be into racing at all. If you haven’t tried paddling a fast board in some small waves yet, then go for it. It’s great fun and a really good way for you to get a taste of downwinding. Find your local SUP retailer and demo a (all round) race board this summer. What have you got to loose? Apart from having to explain to your partner why you need another (and bigger!) SUP! But then you will always have a spare board, so you can go SUPing together!
