dryrobe Advance Long Sleeve
Dry Robe have almost become so synonymous with the beach poncho; it's a little like when Hoover became the word for a Vacuum Cleaner. They have a range of options available, all of them wind and waterproof. As water sports enthusiasts, we use ponchos for getting changed in car parks, especially in winter and the Dry Robe does that job…
Prolimit SUP Neoprene Top Airmax
Depending on where you paddle a bit of warmth can often be a welcome thing. The SUP Neoprene Top Airmax from Prolimit is designed to provide you with warmth while still being able to handle the odd wipeout. Made from high-quality 1mm thick, soft AirFlex 550+ neoprene the quality is very apparent. Airmax vented side panels are there to regulate…
F-One SUP Peak Vario Carbon
As with all the F-One gear I’ve seen, be it kite or SUP, this is an incredibly well-finished piece of equipment. There is a smart sheen finish on the lower half of the shaft, and then the upper half uses what they call ‘anti-skid’ which is a matte finish, presumably for choking down during your stroke. The Vario adjustable model…

A household name for many years in the watersports world, Body Glove have a range of water-specific footwear that are ideal for SUP. The Dynamo Rapid comes in a men’s model as well as the women’s version we’ve tested here. The Dynamo Rapid is something of a hybrid shoe in comparison to some of the others in the range, with…
RRD Morpho
To look at, this board is typical of RRD. I’ve known them as a brand for well over a decade now and seen their various offerings in SUP/Kite and windsurf over the years and I like the fact they often defy conventional design for boards. They like to take a proven concept and shake it up a little with something…

In terms of finish, it looks…
