Economy Stand Up Paddling

Tuesday, April 21st, 2009

Ok, everyones going through this economic slump and its looks like were not even half way through it!

Talking to a friend the other day about SUP’S we decided the sport will struggle with brands selling boards for extortianate prices due to the weak pound against dollar and Euro. A certain Hawaiin SUP brand has board prices double what they were 8 months ago.

Here at Gower SUP we are here to help! – We have GONG boards in stock at great prices in sizes 9’3, 9’11, 10’2, 10’8 . starting at 576 pounds.
