SUP FIT / FRIDAYS / BUCKLAND PARK LAGOON, BETCHWORTH

Get up, get fit. For an alternative to your routine exercise regime, why not try a little SUP Fit?

We jest, but aerobic exercises combined with balancing on the water is one sure fire way to work that core. Sign up online and check all the other awesome activities The SHAC provide while you’re there.
