Back in July 2021, Will from our team went on an adventure.... his target was the Eddystone Lighthouse, 16km directly out to sea from the Cornish coast.....
The Eddystone light house is a remote and difficult place to get to by SUP. Will’s Vlog documents how this trip that had been on his bucket list for years unfolded, including how it unexpectedly ended up on the Jeremy Vine Show on BBC Radio 2.
The trip required some careful planning, a perfect forecast, good safety gear and safety backup as well as an experienced team. If you are interested in touring or adventuring on your SUP watch the vlog and learn how you too can work up to an expedition like this.
