So after a little sustained negotiation with SUP International Magazine we managed to secure a feature for our 12’6” Race Tourer for their summer edition of the mag. Joey T had already responded to some interview style questions on the Loco touring stand up paddle outline but as with all mags they wanted some high […]
Boss man Joey T caught up with new inmate Tina Beresford to find out a little bit more about her achievements to date and what we can expect to see from her in the next 12 months. Name: Tina Beresford Age: 28 Tell us a little about yourself? I started surfing around 10 years ago […]
On Saturday 17th May I made a 6am start for the hour and a half journey to the Thames Sailing Club in Kingston Upon Thames for Battle of the Thames 2014. This race holds special significance for me as it was here last year (in the presence of the great Jamie Mitchell) that I had […]
Islay – April 2014 The first island adventure of the year kicked off with a trip to Islay. I loaded up the new 8’11 (which hadn’t seen the water yet) my surfboard and my windsurf kit then drove from Glasgow to Kennacraig to catch the first ferry in the morning.

And yet, winter should be a time to celebrate and look forward to scoring some epic H2O time – it just may be you have […]
Paul Monninton is an avid Cornwall dwelling windSUPer who can regularly be found playing in the swells that bombard the St. Ives region. Staunchly a boom in hand man, rather than paddle, the Get Sectioned team is pleased to welcome him into the fold. Paul will be helping push the Loco brand and their windSUP designs, […]
Reasons NOT to SUP! After surviving a period of extraordinary storm activity in the UK we can now breathe a sigh of relief, assess the damage (if any) and get on with our everyday stand up paddling shenanigans. It’s fair to say that not everyone loves it ‘extreme dude’ and many were happy to sit […]
It’s been good trip so far for Loco’s R&D team with baking temperatures and pumping surf – so hot in fact that some of the Get Sectioned team’s boards have needed cooling off. Here’s one hot ride taking a dip to extinguish the flames. Hope you’re all scoring back home! Did someone say Gordon’o’clock? Cooling […]
