Good tips! Cheers from Alabama! Come join me on the Tallapoosa, I have several good iSUP's to share.
My usual river routine is to paddle upstream diagonally ("Ferrying") for the first "leg, then on the return/downstream leg, connect lazy 360° spins, backwards/reversals/sideways *freestyle*.
I will share videos on YT soon.

Great tips. I've had dodgy experiences with repairing inflatables. The glue dries up quickly - so check before you go out on a trip that the glue is still useable. I lake paddle in Canada quite frequently (yup, the lakes can be huge). A buddy's board was sliced when pulling into shore. We searched for the sharp object but couldn't find what did it. I thought inflatables were indestructible, but no - a sharp stone can cut into the vinyl. We deflated the board and chugged home for hours on my inflatable dragging - both passenger and old deflated board (not as easy at it sounds). Back at the camp we followed all the instructions and fixed the SUP. Waited 24 hours to dry, it was a hot time of year too. Next day pumped it up and a bubble appeared. It then spread and finally hit the edge of the patch. We fixed it again and again. Same thing happened. End of trip! Had to pump it up every hour or so to paddle back to the cars. Quite the adventure and makes a good story, but equally frustrating. We contacted the manufacturer and the patch can be permanently repaired in the factory. I bought a hard SUP to ensure this never happens again on long trips. I also go way faster (love inflatables, but.... :).
Thankfully nothing like this has happened to me but it's definitely good to know! I'll be more careful now when docking near shallow waters for sure 😅
If you launch at 18th street and go to the point you might not have energy to get back.
Ankle leash is not suitable for river paddleboarding, if you get entangled in some obstacles (logs, rocks etc) while the stream is pushing you there is no way you could reach the ankle velcro to release yourself.... when paddleboard on a river always use a Quick Release Leash or attach the ankle leash to a Quick Release Safety Belt, and also wear a helmet, when in falling from paddleboard in low waters usually full of rocks is not a thing to underestimate...
Depends on the current. I always wear a leash, I don't want to lose my board. However, I have a driver's knife on me if I need to cut away.
I fell off once after hitting a log. The leash kept my board close to me and I didn't have to chase it. (Motorized)
Local boy it seems, H’ Town or Goddy man. I’ll hopefully see you on the surface soon🏄🏻♂️
Good spot! Grew up around St Neots but now live in Leeds, sometimes head back home for some paddling though. Got any other good recommendations in the area?
You can use a kayak paddle and sit down.
That’s godmanchester ❤
Bug spray, a head lamp, fingerless rugby gloves, a spare dry t shirt, a micro towel and a paddle leash
The music is NOT NEEDED, if your slightly deaf one hears the music first and your voice second. Sorry I could not watch this video.
A license for paddling...wtf. i can't believe they charge for that over there. That's right up there with your tv license. Insane.
very true, I mean I've never known someone to be fined or found out, but it is a thing, hopefully it'll change soon 😂
Really not a good idea putting a drinks bottle in a dry bag!!!!! If I leaks everything that you want to keep dry gets wet. If you really want to protect the mouth piece use a separate bag.
very true, good point! and that is what I do as well, one for drinks and food etc and one got stuff you really wanna keep dry.
Don’t try The Strid
Go upstream first. You are going to get tired. Standing up on the river is pointless. Go to moraine
