Whether it’s on city centre harbours, rural rivers or remote lakes, the rise in popularity of stand up paddle boarding (SUP) has been unavoidable in recent summers. And the 2016 looks to be the biggest yet in terms of triathlon SUP events, with a major new series being hosted across England and Wales.

Kicking-off at Chepstow diving centre on 8 May 2016, the triSUP Series is a five-date affair from Martin Barden, the founder of UK Cycling Events, the largest cycling event organiser in Europe.
