Evening SUP session at Lagoihna
After making the mistake of going for a midday surf in the howling wind, it was a nice surprise when the wind dropped off, the water went glassy and the skies turned pink just in time for an hour’s SUP before it got dark! Thanks to Rosie for standing on the beach taking photos (whilst…
