Sup With Helen
I first encountered paddleboarders in Poole Harbour whilst holidaying in the New Forest. I was fascinated and wanted to have a go so organised a lesson when I got home. I instantly became obsessed. I SUPed at every available opportunity, finally buying my own kit 6 months later. I joined several Facebook groups to paddle with other enthusiasts.
​
Anyone can SUP, it looks much easier than it actually is. It doesn't matter what age, shape or fitness level you are. SUPing can be meditative, social or exhilarating - or all three! Its a great way to practice mindfulness - being present in the moment, concentrating on the here and now, it takes your mind off the stresses of everyday life and calms the spirit. As soon as I started SUPing, I found my stress levels dropped dramatically. I had more energy and my fitness improved without even trying! I find SUPing so relaxing as I just think about my balance, strokes and rhythm. When I paddle along, I'm listening to the birds and water lapping against the board. It's just so good for the soul - it pushes everything else out of your mind.
​
Like all sports, SUPing can provide different experiences. Sometimes I do a leisurely SUP with friends, catching up on our news - a healthier alternative to coffee and cake. Sometimes I SUP alone, sometimes I join organised paddles and at other times I compete. Hope to see you out on the water soon!
