SUP it to the bin

Standup paddleboarding, or SUPing, is first and foremost a recreational activity, a way for people to exercise and relax. But when you’re SUPing on a river or lake you can see many things that don’t belong in the water, and you can reach otherwise inaccessible rubbish. Nejc Gajšek is an environmental activist who has taken a keen interest in the natural world from an early age. In his story he reveals how he and his SUPing community take part in organised events and clean-up campaigns, collecting rubbish, cleaning the environment and trying to encourage others to do the same by documenting their activities and posting them on social media.
