Some times rivers beyond the UK and Ireland beckon. This weekend is the Guadiana Challenge SUP Festival in Portugal, featuring a 32km race, a 32km fun paddle, and a 10km fun paddle. I'll be speaking about the Ganges as the festivities continue tomorrow.

The team Ganges SUP (Spike Reid, Shilpika Gautam, Pascal Dubois, Kumaran Geopaddler).
Its been over a month now that we finished filming these amazing chaps doing their epic world record adventure (Stand Up Paddleboarding entire length of ganges----source to sea ---- 2977 kms---101 days). Unforgettable 2 months with them wherein we explored our own country in a very different perspective, travelling only through river Ganga.
Its post-production time right now & our team is working day & night to finish the 7 episode series to be screened very soon on TV - Discovery Channel India.
Stay tuned for updates regarding the release of the series.

Drink Jagerbombs, become a stripper, or take up stand-up paddleboarding. Three options according The Guardian at the end of this little film.
The Devizes-Westminster is a classic annual paddling race. This morning we set out early from Devizes, the highest point of the , to go all the way down to London. (Just we don't have a support crew and we're carrying all our camping gear.)

Gear ready, mostly thanks to Ainsworth Paddles UK, Origin Paddleboards, Aquapac and Jobe SUP.
Launch site located, followed by a pint at the pub beside it.
Now just time for some sleep, most of the team being kindly hosted by Jessi Tucker. Massive thank you.
