Here at Surf Europe, we do not judge. We do not indulge in sweeping generalisations, or point the finger of blame. Ours is a broad church, and those who choose to partake in the riding of stand-up paddle boards are valued members of the congregation. For as Jesus once said — this was leading up to the last supper, you will recall — there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance.

Anyhow, a couple of paddle boarders took the wrong road to la playa and ended up riding their SUP’s down the snow-covered slopes. Surfing’s loss is snowboarding’s gain.
