Your Guide to Autumn Paddleboarding

For many, the end of summer means packing the paddleboard away. For those in the know, however, this is when the real season begins. As the vibrant energy of summer softens into the golden tranquillity of autumn, the UK's waterways are transformed. This is a magical time for paddleboard cruising, and with the right board, it becomes an unforgettable experience.

The crowds thin, the water becomes glassy, and the landscape transforms into a canvas of gold and red. If you want to glide effortlessly through this stunning scenery, you need a board that's built for the journey. Our Cruiser paddleboard, currently on sale, is the ultimate companion for these adventures, offering the stability and performance needed to explore in comfort and style.

This is your guide to making the most of the quiet season: from picking the perfect spot to gearing up for a comfortable and safe adventure.

Why Autumn is the Perfect Time to Paddle 

While summer has the heat, autumn has the atmosphere. The waterways become peaceful again, offering a completely different experience. You can enjoy the stillness of the morning, watch the mist burn off the water, and paddle through some of the most spectacular scenery the UK has to offer. It's a time for mindful exploration and creating lasting memories. Choosing Your Autumn Adventure

With the summer rush over, now is the time to explore.

• Rivers: Glide past ancient woodlands ablaze with colour. The River Wye, the Norfolk Broads, or Scotland's lochs are particularly stunning at this time of year.

• Lakes: Experience the profound stillness of a crisp morning on a lake like Windermere or Derwentwater before the winter sets in.

• Canals: Offering sheltered and calm water, the UK's canal network is perfect for a relaxed paddle, allowing you to enjoy the journey through the heart of the countryside.

Gearing Up for Comfort and Safety

The right gear turns a chilly paddle into a cosy adventure. It's all about smart layering and having the right equipment.

• Your Board: A stable touring board is ideal for autumn conditions, and our Cruiser is designed specifically for this. Perfect for both beginners and seasoned paddlers, its superior stability provides confidence on the water, while its sleek design ensures excellent glide and tracking, making those longer paddles feel effortless. Crafted with durable materials, it’s a reliable board for all your adventures. The lightweight build also ensures easy transport from your car to the water's edge, helping you get on the water faster to enjoy the day.

• What to Wear: Ditch the summer board shorts. The key is a wetsuit or if that's not your thing then you'll need layers: a thermal base layer, a fleece mid-layer, and a waterproof or windproof outer shell. You can always remove a layer and store it in your board's cargo bungee.

• Safety First: With fewer people around, being prepared is crucial. Always wear a Buoyancy Aid and a quick-release leash if you're on a river. Tell someone your plan and carry your phone in a waterproof case. Better yet, share the adventure with a friend.
