My name is Laurie and I am @littlesupclub or @littlesuplj on instagram you have probably seen pics of me doing stupid stuff on and off my SUP and in my merch for a couple of years now. I am not a SUP instructor just a massive SUP enthusiast. Little SUP Club is my own small business, blog and community I set up as I wanted to create a happy safe space \u201cclub\u201d for anyone and everyone who loves to paddle or be outdoors or just being a nice human to be part of!! A club that\u2019s not a club but it is a club that everyone can be a part of, and even get the t-shirt (literally)if you want to.<\/p><p>Have you ever wished that you could be a part of something even when thousands of miles away and completely alone? My brand is here to make that happen. By creating an inclusive and global community, Little SUP Club aims to bring people around the world together. It isn't just another club, it's a community -- one where everyone is welcome.<\/p><p>My mission is to make sure everyone feels like they are part of something bigger than themselves and have a sense of our worldwide community. This is one of the reasons why I do #SHARESUNDAY if people tag @littlesupclub or #LITTLESUPCLUB in their LITTLE SUP CLUB merch or just having fun in pics, vids or reels I share them all on my stories on the last Sunday of the month. It\u2019s a fun way to see and show what the SUP community is up to throughout the month.<\/p><p>I understand that many people would rather disconnect from traditional clubs and so this is why I have created this unique concept where everyone can be 'included without being confined' to membership rules. As part of the Little SUP Club ethos, I also produce ethical clothing and other products relating to shared community values - so you can show your pride as part of the club by buying merch without having to actually meet people if you don\u2019t want to or do its up to you.<\/p><p>Go on, join the club, get the t-shirt!! All are welcome to the Little SUP Club!<\/p><p><\/p>","urlTitle":"why-i-started-little-sup-c-lub","url":"\/blog\/why-i-started-little-sup-c-lub\/","editListUrl":"\/my-blogs","editUrl":"\/my-blogs\/edit\/why-i-started-little-sup-c-lub\/","fullUrl":"https:\/\/little-sup-club.teemill.com\/blog\/why-i-started-little-sup-c-lub\/","featured":false,"published":true,"showOnSitemap":true,"hidden":false,"visibility":null,"createdAt":1676457655,"updatedAt":1709549529,"publishedAt":1709549529,"lastReadAt":null,"division":{"id":124982,"name":"Little SUP Club"},"tags":[],"metaImage":{"original":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/zprjk6f8u5iqlrfvsgamxz6mvlc4xnwnlsvq4ycipwpedcat.jpeg","thumbnail":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/zprjk6f8u5iqlrfvsgamxz6mvlc4xnwnlsvq4ycipwpedcat.jpeg.jpg?w=1140&h=855","banner":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/zprjk6f8u5iqlrfvsgamxz6mvlc4xnwnlsvq4ycipwpedcat.jpeg.jpg?w=1920&h=1440"},"metaTitle":"","metaDescription":"","keyPhraseCampaignId":null,"series":[],"similarReads":[{"id":26532,"title":"Why I started to Paddleboard","url":"\/blog\/why-i-started-to-paddleboard\/","urlTitle":"why-i-started-to-paddleboard","division":124982,"description":"This is another blog post I wrote as an ambassador for @Bluefinsups which tells about how I got started in paddle boarding and what it means to me","published":true,"metaImage":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/nrupvcdigysgwu5wr4hzhvqt23nufdrleb6fejukc3zwig9o.jpeg.jpg?w=1140&h=855","banner":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/nrupvcdigysgwu5wr4hzhvqt23nufdrleb6fejukc3zwig9o.jpeg.jpg?w=1920&h=1440"},"hidden":0},{"id":26531,"title":"Winter SUP Tips","url":"\/blog\/winter-sup-tips\/","urlTitle":"winter-sup-tips","division":124982,"description":"I wrote another blog post for @Bluefinsups sharing tips for SUPping in the winter \/ colder months","published":true,"metaImage":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/hf5str04k3ej4osrshfzjtucefcitukshee2tr3irkwohvql.jpeg.jpg?w=1140&h=855&z=1.1&fx=0.47570368606002&fy=0.50622631231589","banner":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/hf5str04k3ej4osrshfzjtucefcitukshee2tr3irkwohvql.jpeg.jpg?w=1920&h=1440&z=1.1&fx=0.47570368606002&fy=0.50622631231589"},"hidden":0},{"id":39284,"title":"Pride Month \ud83c\udff3\u200d\ud83c\udf08\ud83c\udff3\u200d\ud83c\udf08\ud83c\udff3\u200d\ud83c\udf08","url":"\/blog\/pride-month\/","urlTitle":"pride-month","division":124982,"description":"June is a special month for the LGBTQI+ community, as it marks the celebration of Pride.
