There are plenty of SUP routes with pubs, restaurants and refreshment stops along the way. Owning a paddle board means you can dock your gear anywhere and grab a much needed drink.
It doesn’t have to be alcoholic either. For those who enjoy a brew a nice cuppa is also game. Check your local area for decent paddle and pint routes.
We’re big advocates of sunrise/sunset paddling. Early morning sunrise sessions are particularly fulfilling. Waking at dawn’s crack and putting in well before the masses arrive is pure bliss.
Sunrise is often the best time to score flat, windless water as well.
Have SUP, will travel. Even if not that far. Your SUP is ideal for loading up with essential foody items before taking the family off for some well earned nosh.
Head off round the bend, pitch up in your chosen spot and chomp away. Maybe kick back in the hammock with a drink to while away a few more hours before heading back to base. SUP can certainly be as chilled as you like.
This one may take a bit of planning but a SUP scavenger hunt can be a great to get your kids unwittingly covering some ground on their paddle boards.
As the summer holidays roll round it’d be another way to keep them entertained at least!
Wild swimming has gained much traction in the last few years. Just like paddle boarding. Combining the two open up even more stretches of water – especially those tucked away corners.
