5. Noah Yap Friends
Heat Score - 74
Noah Yap has gone from a kid with lots of potential to being a fully fledged shredder who is taking SUP surfing to new levels. He's not just a progressive surfer boosting airs and flicking his tail around in a way that looks cool - he's blending powerful moves with clean lines and power; a union between traditional and modern surfing. This is his latest video offering, showing off an average day with buddies on Maui.

3. Ausie SUP's English Channel
Heat Score - 82
Tim Whidburn, an Australian paddler living in England, recently crossed the English Channel on a SUP, raising £2,400 for St Christopher's Hospice along the way. It's a classic story of someone starting just over a year ago, taking to it straight and then creating a personal goal for himself. We've got heaps of respect for this kind of self-motivation and would like to tip our cap to Tim.
