This paddleboard adventure guide gives you everything you need to know to get up and get SUPping.</b> <p/>With only a little knowledge and practice, pretty much anyone can get up and get moving on a paddleboard, and then there's no limit to where SUP can take you. This complete guide gives you everything you need to know to get started, and much more besides. <p/>All the basics are here, from fundamental equipment (a guide to boards, including bargain-priced inflatables, as well as paddles, clothing and simple safety gear) to essential techniques (getting on, getting moving and, just as importantly, landing and getting off). Along with challenges and games to play with your new paddleboarding buddies, the book explores places to go and things to see, from rivers and canals to coastlines and travel further afield. The book also explains all the important stuff you might need to understand about weather, tides, waves and currents. <p/>However, <i>The Paddleboard Bible</i> then goes much further. It will take you on paddleboard adventures, from night paddles (showing you the world from the water in a way you've probably never seen it before) to wildlife-spotting safaris and unique photography opportunities; it even reveals the benefits of fishing from a paddleboard. And it's not all gentle stuff--for adrenaline junkies there is SUP surfing, riding white water rapids and for the more competitive types, SUP racing. SUP is also great for fitness (you haven't done yoga until you've done SUP yoga) and it's a fantastic way to meet new people, join groups, go to events and go on unique tours. <p/>Whether you're curious about trying out SUP one afternoon, want to dive into it as a new hobby or really get involved in the scene and the lifestyle, then <i>The Paddleboard Bible</i> is the one-stop book that covers everything you need to know about the most accessible and inexpensive paddlesport.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"All you need to know about paddleboarding, from the basics of getting up and moving to finding the best spots for wild adventures." --<i>National Geographic</i> <p/>"Covers the basics and know-how to get you started.
