3. SUPing The Land Of The Midnight Sun
Heat Score - 77
No sooner than our car entered the driveway, and I was already drooling over the land of liquid we were encased in. We unloaded our suitcases and our bladders and I looked at Mary and said, “24 hours of traveling and two hours of sleep total…you got enough energy for a paddle?” She giggled and we got back in the car and headed for the cold waters of the Norwegian Fjord nearby. It was the beginning of what was to be a well traveled Northern European SUP adventure. Read more HERE.

Tip Of The Week
Listen to your paddle! One of the best tips to improve your stroke technique & performance is to set and pull against your paddle quietly. Any gurgling sound you may hear, is your paddle blade moving/slipping/cavitating closer to you.. as opposed to correctly pulling yourself, closer to your anchored paddle blade! © Follow @paddleclass for more tips, techniques along with dates & locations for a #paddleclass at a Shop, Race, or Club near you. #makeeverystrokecount #tips #paddle #sup #outrigger #thomasmaximus #photocredit @taylorrambo_ @maximussells @rivierapaddlesurf @hammernutrition @officialmauijim @hinano_tahiti
