Cheers M8ty, gonna get my Aquaglide Blackfoot 130 fishing Kyak (May) for my Devon trips to see my family! But presently live in South Yorkshire and wanting to get a lot of practice in, on the canals. Just the information I needed, as same rules and advice for Kyak as sub! Thankyou for sharing, liked and subscribed.

This video brought back good memories as my wife and I paddled to Old Harry Rocks last August in our Itiwit X100 kayak but launched from Monkey beach in Swanage which made the trip a bit longer. That was also a beautiful day and very hot. As you say, you get such a different perspective from the water. It is one of the things we really enjoy about getting out on the water. It's just a shame you haven't posted a vlog for a long time as your videos always made me smile.

The possibility of falling on a child is exactly why I have liability insurance to walk around. It's Pedestrian Insurance provided by Bumble & Blunder Assurance Ltd and it's called Oops-a-Daisy Cover. On a serious note :) good tips BTW, I paddle on canals too.

Funny comment but walking around is very different to paddling a SUP in a busy area during family holiday times. why would you turn down free insurance anyhow? lol

You’re getting “free” insurance because paying for a license to use your own SUP you were taxed to buy with currency you were taxed to make is THAT dumb. Suck on that.

I remember paddling the length of the Wye 30 years ago carrying tents in kayaks and camping along the way. For Symmomds Yat to make it more fun I went down standing up on a blow up lilo. Who knew then paddle boarding would be a thing. Had my first go at SUP this week and hooked. Watching several of your videos today as I live in the East Midlands and interested to see local areas. Thanks for making them.

I did Upton to Tewkesbury yesterday, lovely route. Launched above the bridge at Upton. Instead of landing at Lower Lode, I turned off into the Avon and landed at the slipway at the Lock Picnic Grounds, Tewkesbury. Did you have to pay to park & launch at Upton Marina? I did have a quick paddle around the Marina as I passed it downstream of Upton

Thanks for sharing. How steep was the bank at Bredon to launch from? We tried to get round Tewkesbury weir too but like you couldn’t find a suitable spot to get back in downstream. We portaged over the road bridge instead to get into the Old Avon, didn’t realise we could have used the lock. We did use the lock at Lower Lode though (have a Waterways licence via Canoe Wales membership).

Possibly the most useful video I've watched on KZbin. Thank you! Thank you especially for not editing out the snaggy bits where it didn't quite line up first time, and showing how to sort that out. I've been putting off repairing the bottom panel of my ititwit because I couldn't find how to safely get it out of the cover. You've made it so clear and shown me how I should have been looking after it in the first place.

Getting the side bladers out and out is not required, unless you've damaged the outer skin, as they can be tricky for some to get back in. Being a kite surfer for many years, I don't wash the kite off after every session as this could cause it to go mouldy, some salt prevents that. Other than that very informative, getting the floor out and cleaning inside is the bast tip. Thank you

Hi - thanks for your lovely and helpful videos. We are going to be staying at Braunston for a weekend and are bringing our paddleboards. Do you have any recommendations for quiet routes of a few hours close to there? I was a bit alarmed to see the canal at Braunston described at the busiest waterway in the country! Thanks so much if you have any suggestions.

Hi. The Oxford canal is one of the busier routes but it's really not crazy busy. Also, if you fancy popping over to Stratford Upon Avon the river is lovely from fisherman's carpark or from Braunston you could head to Napton and back... there are loads of possibilities in the West Mids to be honest.

I was on the Avon today around Warwick, rotten sanitary towells and baby wipes on tree branches at flood levels, not loads but, enough to make you really not want to get wet.
