What happens when you take centuries of Croatian, Italian and Venitian culture, sprinkle a bit of Ottoman influence (Turkish); spread it out on dozens of carbonate islands; simmer it on warm Adriatic climate with crystal clear turquoise sea; lock it away during the Cold War period (until today) and then go paddling there?

Marko Senegačnik went on an epic SUP expedition to explore and disconnect in the Northern Croatian Islands for a 4 day, 5 island, 100km adventure. See his story here.

Fiona Wylde, Werner Paddle's SUP athlete is off a pretty big trip overseas getting to explore and race in Asia and Europe as she competes in a series of SUP events and races over the summer. As part of her travels she’s been releasing a series of video blogs so that we can tag along with her on her adventures. This week, Fiona shares footage from her time in Croatia.
