SUP as Triathlon training tool - info needed.
« on: April 30, 2010, 10:13:22 AM »
Hi

We have volunteered for the last 3 years as the water safety patrol at a couple of triathlons per year.
While saving people from drowning is a good thing (2 in 3 years) - I would like to try and get more of them into SUP.

Does anyone have any info on using SUP as a training tool that I can use to put together a flyer to give out to all the people at this years events?

Found this one so far.

Thanks
Warren

Hi Warren,

There is a good video on YouTube featuring Roch Frey, Paul Huddle and Heather Fuhr talking about the benefits of SUP. Heather is a legend in the sport, and 1997 Ironman world champ.

Cheers

I'm trying to get the tri group down here in New Brunswick interested as well.

Good find, I'm posting this on the walls of all my triathlete buddies. But those chicks have awful technique!
