North East Loco SUP Surfing

North East Loco SUP Surfing After a couple of days heavy soul searching as to whether to drive 400 miles to attend the National Water Sports Festival or stay local and score some all time wave sailing and SUP heart overcame head and a plan was hatched to make the most of the 8-9' at 10 second forecast. Saturday was a windsurfing day with Steve Laddiman meeting up with Thorpy down in East Yorkshire and Joe hitting Amble for some...

Loco SUP Inmates Blow Up at Saltburn

After what seems to have been an endless swell famine on the East Coast the swell Gods finally relented to the masses and sent a long overdue pulse of salty loveliness yesterday. The original plan was to head down to Scarborough to check out some of our beloved coastline's hidden slabs but the swell height didn't really justify the mission so it was decided boss man Joe would meet up with Welsh ripper Steve Laddiman and son Ollie down...

Northern Winter SUP League – Race 2

Hey Locos!! Despite Stand Up Paddleboard Racing being a regular fixture down on the South Coast for the last couple of seasons, it had failed to really take off up in the North of England with paddlers largely preferring to paddle surf or simply paddle recreationally or for fitness. Boss man Joe decided that something needed to be done about this so discussions were started with Central SUP and SUP North to see if an informal series of fun races...

Loco End of Season Paddleboard Sale

Hey Locos! It's been another fantastic season for the brand with almost double the sales we did last year, topped off with two National Final placings for young Finn Gamblin and recent SUP convert Tina Beresford. Once again solid proof that you don't need to be a large multi-national windsurfing brand to make championship-worthy paddle boards. It was interesting that both Finn and Tina decided to use their more buoyant Short SUPs in last weekend's onshore dump fest, underlining...

National Watersports Festival Goes Nuts For Loco SUP

Boss man Joey T takes a few minutes off from double dropping throat lozenges, post party kidney dialysis and nursing an infected human bite (an event first) to report back on The Loco SUP Asylum's annual 750 mile round trip down to The National Watersports Festival. So after last year's mixed response to the arrival of the 'new kids on the block' we were a little reluctant to drive all that way and spend money on a 66% more...
