Loco is a collaboration between BSUPA instructor and UK competition paddle surfer Joe Thwaites and legendary windsurfing shaper Bouke Becker from Witchcraft Sailboards, Fuerteventura. Our mission was to design and manufacture sub 10,' lightweight yet bulletproof SUPs that were easily transportable and would work in a variety of ways dependent upon rider weight and ability. Our brand is predominant

ly aimed at paddle surfers looking for a performance-based alternative to the 'usual suspects'. However we do have a feature driven entry level board which also works as a big guy's wave board. The boards have been developed to work in fluky European conditions, pulling from Joe's experience of teaching hundreds of people to paddlesurf in the UK and Fuerteventura alongside his own quest for the ultimate board. Alongside our range of production boards, we're also offering a custom service with Bouke at the helm so please contact us if you'd like a quote. We're currently recruiting team riders so give Joe a call if you'd like to be considered. Sponsorship &/or custom boards available at cost for a limited period. If you're interested in becoming a distributor please get in touch.

πŸͺ First flights are meant to feel wobbly.

The useful bit is learning how to stay calm long enough for the board to build speed. Keep your weight slightly forward, knees soft and your eyes up. Flat water and a steady breeze make a huge difference.

What helped your first proper flight click?

Is it just us or are lady prone foilers less visible here in the UK? πŸ€”

Maybe it's the cold water, cost of the equipment or they just don't get it?

We'd love to hear from any UK prone foilers in the comments ⬇️

πŸ” Pump foiling is repetition more than drama.

Start with a low, balanced stance, build speed smoothly and aim for short, clean runs rather than forcing distance. The small improvements stack up quickly.

πŸ„ A decent surf SUP session still starts with the simple stuff: paddle in hand, eyes on the section, and enough time on the face to make the turn count.

Chasing the back of the wave never feels as good.

Went out anyway. Naturally.

🌊 What gets you back to the coast?

The smell of salt before you have parked. The wetsuit waiting in the boot. That first look at the water over the hill.

Whatever it is for you, hope you find it this weekend.
