Could Paddle Boarding Be Your New Gym Workout?

Corona virus is everywhere and the media are certainly fanning the flames of panic but what are we supposed to do? We can’t all just stop working, socialising and exercising! We’re told covid-19 presents the highest risk for the elderly and those with weak immune systems but then we hear about 30 year olds dying from it in Italy, so what can we take as gospel? The government’s latest update to postpone/cancel large events, avoid socialising where possible and encourage...

Join Loco’s Stand Up Paddle Boarding Team

As some of you may know it's been a challenging 18 months health-wise for Loco front man Joe, consequently the usual levels of SUP stoke and team talent harvesting have had to take a backseat regrettably. Thankfully he's now back in the room and looking to drive things forward for the rest of this season and into 2020 and beyond. If you can see yourself as a Loco brand ambassador and are well-versed in self-promotion across social media we...

Loco’s SUP Surfing Review of Las Americas, Tenerife

As most of our fans will already know Loco boss Joe usually jets off somewhere sunny for some winter waves when the UK SUP season quietens down. Having visited the brand's spiritual home in Fuerteventura numerous times, ticked off Morocco and Portugal in recent years Joe was looking for somewhere new to explore and with a lack of rider availability and some 'family stuff' going on the usual lads trip had to be swapped out for a couples trip...

Solving The Big Guy Surf SUP Conundrum

Solving The Big Guy Surf SUP Conundrum It's fair to say that most guys with paddle surfing intentions don't necessarily fit into the 60-75kg sub 5'10 category so we have to ask ourselves how relevant are the volume to weight ratios and kit choices of our SUP surfing heroes? For most of us we have to pay for our kit and don't always have unlimited budgets to justify 2-3 boards so it comes down to compromise to a certain extent. Loco...

Loco Tandem SUP Race League

Loco Tandem SUP Race League Hey Locos! If you've not already had a go on a tandem SUP where were you in 2018?! Unlike regular paddle boarding where it's all about you and either your surroundings, beating your peers to the line or smacking a sweet lip. Tandem SUP involves more teamwork, coordination and opens up a new dimension to multi-person stand up. With school and club pre-order deadlines almost upon us we're looking to promote our new race series. The...

Top Tips For Making A Great SUP Edit

Top Tips For Making A Great SUP Edit Hey Locos! So we've been making SUP edits for some time now with varying degrees of success. In the early days we were limited by equipment, in fact we only had a GoPro Hero2 and a handful of mounts which were pretty poor by today's standards. Sure you could get the job done if you were under 5'10 tall, chummed a fish-eye POV and didn't mind airing your steamed up housing every 15...

Loco At The Big Ben SUP Challenge 2017

Loco At The Big Ben SUP Challenge 2017 Having spent the last 3 years working in London the pull of a 20k paddle along the Thames was irresistible. London is an amazing city, as a seafaring nation the Thames has been instrumental in shaping the capital. Many of it’s iconic buildings are neighbours to what for centuries has been the lifeblood of the City. I’ve not been stand up paddle boarding long and had been looking for a challenge before the...
