S6 Ep108: A Beginner’s Guide to Paddleboarding

Hiking, running, and cycling can be great ways to get from A to B for the environmentally conscious traveller. But for a truly alternative mode of transport why not embrace the power of the paddle? Discover more about paddlesports at National Trust places here: https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/features/best-places-to-kayak-and-canoe  Some National Trust locations which are accessible by water may not be featured on this list. Please check with individual properties about their facilities.  We hope this episode has inspired you to begin your own paddleboarding adventure. However, this podcast is not a comprehensive guide.  It’s important to research dos and don’ts to stay safe when you take to the water. Here are some useful resources to get you started:  https://www.britishcanoeing.org.uk/news/2021/sup-safety-week-all-you-need-to-know-to-stay-safe-on-the-water  https://rnli.org/safety/choose-your-activity/stand-up-paddle-boarding  For further inspiration, National Trust book Slow Adventures features Psyched Paddleboarding and lots of other ideas for your next wild expedition.
