To get the most out of cold-water paddle boarding it is vital that your SUP kit has the essential items you need to stay dry, warm and safe.
While it is sometimes tricky to know what to wear paddle boarding throughout the year, your winter attire really hangs on what type of paddling you intend to do.
If it is particularly chilly and you plan to head out into choppy waters or into the surf, a wetsuit will be your best option. If however, you plan to paddle a longer distance in calmer conditions, choose something warm yet breathable as this will help to regulate your temperature, especially if you begin to build up a sweat during your paddle.
Performance layers for cooler conditions use dri-release fabric technology so you can keep warm, dry and comfortable while paddling. And don’t forget your hat and gloves!
