The Global SUP Community

Loco was originally born out of frustration. Back in 2012 stand up paddle board choice was limited, with none of the windsurfing brands really offering enough wave performance to cater for anyone with real surf intentions. After a chance meeting in a Northumberland pub Joe was introduced to Bouke from Witchcraft Sailboards and the first of many productive working relationships was formed. After spending a few weeks in Fuerteventura one all-round shape turned into three as the first line of Loco boards was born.

Every Silverbirch canoe is drawn and faired at full size using traditional wooden battens. These graceful lines are then scanned at full size and imported into CAD, where we use them to build highly accurate 3D models of the finished canoe.

Back when Frank Goodman founded Valley he probably didn’t envisage how much it would become entwined with the history of sea kayaking as a sport. In 1972 when the Anas Acuta, was launched, Valley became one of the very first companies producing a specialist sea kayak. Although kayaking on the sea can be traced back several thousand years through various cultures it was these fibreglass sea kayaks that led to the activity gaining popularity as a pastime.

Aquapac was founded back in 1983 here in London (UK), where we still have our head office. It all started with three young windsurfers wondering if they couldn’t find a way to listen to a Sony Walkman while on (and in) the water. What they came up with was certainly not the most elegant-looking product. But it worked!
