Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Surf’s up! From paddle boarding to surfing, watersports are arguably the best and most immersive way to explore the British coastlines or local riverways – and participation is on the rise.
Whether you’re dipping your toe for the first time or are a seasoned watersports pro, the right bit of gear is always essential and yet often costly. Thankfully, Aldi has been kitting us all summer with its sports Specialbuys.
From affordable golf carts, bags and clubs to one of the cheapest inflatable paddleboards on the market, the supermarket is the place to stock up on budget sporting goods – and now, you can shop both kids’ and adult wetsuits.
While many wetsuits can cost upwards of £300, Aldi’s watersports range costs between £12.99 and £29.99. Not only is each suit UV resistant and windproof, but they also have slip-resistant panels and are packed in a reusable knitted bag for storage and transportation.
