Pre-SUP sesh choon up – music for getting amped

Pre-SUP sesh choon up – music for getting amped

Pre-SUP sesh choon up - We all need a little motivation sometimes – if it’s chilly out, you’re having an off day, that fuzzy ‘night before’ head is lingering or your heart rate needs pumping in anticipation of that big race – whatever the reason, music is a good way to psych up for your imminent stand up paddle board sesh.
