It's the new must have accessory for hipsters.
My mate is having a bit of a hipster meltdown at the moment. New paddle board, ukulele, flat cap, beard, pipe.....he's gone full bat shit for the summer.

I have a very dear mate who has grown his beard in lockdown and bought a Panama Hat so that he sometimes looks like the Man From Delmonte. He owns a paddleboard. I had a go last summer. I fell off.

I'm a keen canoeist, multi discipline, last year
I reckon it was one the one SUP/Kayak. This year easy five to 1 SUP based on what I've seen on the Cuckmere, Seaford and Barcombe mills

The NT have got them for use on the Thames at Cliveden.
Look ok, but from what I've seen last week, they don't look that safe when buffering up against the current of the local wannabe barge captains that sail up and down
So will you be buying one and wearing your leotard when on said board

Er, you don't get luggage on a paddleboard. Its, you, a pair of shorts and a paddle. Plus it isn't great for stress these days, was up the Adur in a friends nice ally floored SIB and we came across a " Shoal " of 6 paddleboarders all abreast of each other taking up 2/3rds of the river ! down by Soldiers point theres even more of them but the fishing boats that moor by Monteum usually get them rattled when their wake hits them.

A few small waves generally sorts them out....

I've been SUPing for a decade or more - love it. Had a cruise along the sea and got a 10km paddle in this evening - great gentle exercise. Last week was in Cornwall on my Surf SUPs in big waves - its a great sport and super varied in discipline - long distance, sprints, cruising, pissing about or waves and foiling. What's not to like?
Four locals. I’m sure some of you on here might know one or two of them.

Its piss easy. I too failed miserably at skateboarding as a kid and again trying it as an adult now my kids can do it, but we can all stand up on the paddle board. Mind you I've only been out on mirror like waters, not had a y challenging waves yet.

Will cease to be popular fairly soon when it's realised there are more people standing on the water looking at each other than those sat on the beach drinking and having picnics and barbecues.
