My SUP Stories
Hello, I’m Anu Aladin, a passionate paddleboarder, writer and urban explorer based in South West London.
With more than a decade of paddling experience across the capital, I’ve spent countless hours discovering London’s waterways, sharing my adventures on My SUP Stories and encouraging others to discover how accessible paddling can be in London. My SUP journey began in 2011 when I first took to the water. Former co-owner on Paddleboarding London, I previously ran SUP lessons and guided tours. Now I paddle for fun and have written Paddle London (Bloomsbury, 2026), a guidebook inspired by my local knowledge and love for SUP in London.
I’m always excited to connect with fellow paddlers, swap stories, collaborate on creative projects, contribute articles or features and take part in talks, podcasts, events or book signings. If you’re interested in working together or inviting me to share the joy of SUP, please do get in touch. Let’s see where our stories will lead next.
