SUP travel is great. Whilst many will paddle their local stretch of water for all time a good proportion of SUP paddlers will fancy a change once in a while. After all, rejuvenating your experience by immersing yourself in a new environment is good for the soul as well as your stand up paddle boarding overall.
SUP travel at home.
When we talk about SUP travel we’re not even thinking about jumping on a jet plane and getting gone overseas. Fair simpler is to head across towards that next river tributary or poke you paddle around the next headland to discover a different beach. Sometimes even in the same locale you can discover wildly different paddling conditions that may either challenge, broaden your SUP horizons or a combination.
It’s tricky travelling abroad in 2020 with COVID in the mix. Yet domestic excursions are very much doable. We’ve heard a few SUPers this year have rediscovered their own backyard and have a sense of reinvigoration for paddling a mere stone’s throw from their humble abodes.
