Thurso Surf sprang from two friends reconnecting over paddleboarding. We’d both gone our separate ways after middle school but when we met again 15 years later, my childhood friend Yu, who’d been working for a major SUP manufacturer, introduced me to his new favorite sport. Paddleboarding is easy to pick up and a ton of fun. Learning a new sport sparked that sense of play I remembered from running around together as kids. Just like that, we were hooked!
