I’m Anu and I live in Richmond. Back in 2010, I was on a beach in Hawaii when I saw a middle-aged guy carrying what looked like a giant surfboard and a paddle. He stepped onto the water, stood up and paddled out like it was the most natural thing in the world. Graceful glide. I was mesmerised. It took another year before I got to try SUP for myself, on a beginner’s lesson in Falmouth. My legs were shaking, I kept falling off, but by the end of the session, I stood up. And just like that, I was hooked.
