Girl on log - The Stand Up Paddleboard as a bushcraft tool.

Aint it great when you can combine your 2 fave passions on the same trip,

Ain’t that the truth brother.

Paddleboards belong at resorts not in the back country.

There is so such wrong with this idea, I don't know where to begin.

Could you say some more about that? Some very serious expeditions have been done on SUPs of late.

Thanks

I like to sail, paddle (sea & whitewater), dive, swim. All things water really.

@ susannewilliams

You and I have a different idea on what makes for a “very serious expedition”. I was thinking of scientists studying jellyfish or something. You posted links to adventure tourism.

Oh yeah, and the Yukon. White horse to Dawson creek. 700km

I see. Well, I will see what scientific expeditions I can find.

Could you in the meantime elaborate on your comments that SUP have no place in backcountry and are only for resorts?

Thanks
