This is rather awesome @sup_lass 👏👏👏 Rep This is rather awesome @sup_lass 👏👏👏 Reposted from @sup_lass Adapt + Overcome    Recently I've been working with Heather, who has been challenged with getting to standing due to old knee, elbow and wrist injuries (she was a bit of a trials bike diva back in the day (!) and as a result has had over 30 operations, plus overcome cancer!!). Heather was unable to push herself up using her hands and was unable to kneel for any duration without experiencing significant pain.   After some homemade attempts, we reverted to searching and trawling online to discover an American made ‘Paddle More Seat’ - by @zupboards.   The seat, which enables paddlers to stand, sit and kneel comfortably on their boards, fits effortlessly to most boards using a velcro anchor system. The seat has enabled Heather to stand with confidence due to it taking the pressure off her knees, along with providing her with a higher platform to push up from. Heather has displayed an incredible ‘can do’ attitude to SUP and at home has been using a balance board to increase her core strength and balance.    Last night we had a breakthrough and managed to paddle our first 1km fully standing, which was just magical to watch....keep going girl!!  #sup_lass #adaptandovercome #sup #mcconks #challenge #standuppaddle #overcome #waterskillsacademy #gettheskills

Transparency notice

McConks is based in the Cotswold Water Park, and is a family owned UK company, registration #09813033

We are a UK registered company, registered as Perfect Trim Limited (find out why here), and pay corporation tax in the UK. Details of our company registration at UK Companies House can be found here.

We are also VAT registered and pay 20% VAT on all sales we make within the UK and Europe. Our VAT registration number is 270 4921 10.

We do not pay influencers or ambassadors. Anyone who recommends us is doing so because they believe in us, not because they’ve been given free stuff. You won’t find us in many magazine reviews because most magazines and online reviews demand that we give them a free board, or that we take up advertising or become a brand supporter with them before the review. We think that undermines the independence of the reviews.
