Where to go and tips?
Luckily in Cornwall we have so many places to chose from when it come to SUP. Anywhere there is a nice bit of water, make it yours!
The most popular places I can think of are: Fowey river, Fal river and Falmouth. Most of these places you will be able to find a rental service if you haven’t got your own board. If you do know of any other places do let me know by contacting me on instagarm, I’m @melissa_carne.
I would highly recommend trying out rivers if it is your first time as then you won’t be battling the waves! You just want to time it well with the tides, make sure the river is deep enough and try to paddle with the tide (it’s hard work if not!)
The great thing with paddleboards is that you can actually use them to surf too! We tried this out at Crantock a few times, they’re obviously just a bit harder to control so just watch out for the people around you!
Summary
I hope you enjoyed this blog post about paddleboarding in Cornwall. This is still a fairly new adventure of mine so I am sure there will be a lot more updates and posts to come.
While you’re here and looking for routes to paddleboard why not check out my blog posts on Fowey and Falmouth and see what the towns also have to offer. I would highly recommend checking out harbour lights in Falmouth for fish and chips, I think that may be our next trip!
Lots of love, Melissa x
