[@robgrubb420]

woohoo can't wait for this years trip!

[@PaddleAdventurer]

I'm excited too! Lots of learning with a longer trip plus portages with a SUP.

[@HealthyBodyBySophie]

Love this video. What a great adventure. Motivates us to get out there and SUP camp too!

[@PaddleAdventurer]

Thanks for watching and commenting! You totally need to plan a backcountry adventure this year 🙌🏼🏕️ or even a day trip!

[@tracibrunyee8931]

Thanks for sharing, your videos always make me feel excited and to see where my adventures will take me. Looking forward to watching your video x

[@PaddleAdventurer]

Thanks for watching! I’m so glad they get you excited. I can’t wait for more great trips this summer!

[@sagardesai5278]

I appreciate your videos. I had looked into paddle board camping several years ago after just getting into canoe camping and didn't find many examples of people doing it. It's great to see that more people are doing it and that it's totally possible, especially in Ontario. I think I am finally going to get myself a paddle board now :)

[@PaddleAdventurer]

Thanks for watching and for the kind comment! You absolutely should head out this summer and do a trip on a paddle board. Here is the trip I did last year. Longer than my first one as well as some portages kzbin.info/www/bejne/rpPcaJ6viJmSZpYsi=bUjSCAGHBQjetmgD Looking to do Barron Canyon this year 🏕️🙌🏼🌌

[@icyneri2531]

Nice! Very informative! Great pointers for everyone.

[@PaddleAdventurer]

Thanks so much! I'm glad you found the video helpful 🏕️🙌🏼

[@BeckiandChris]

Great tips! This looks like so much fun!

[@PaddleAdventurer]

Thanks so much, Becki! It was wonderful to meet you last week!

[@MrHikenbike]

I love your videos! You are quite inspiring and now I'm picking up a nice paddleboard for some adventures of my own. Keep 'em coming.

[@PaddleAdventurer]

Thanks for the kind comment, Albert! Welcome to paddle boarding! Happy adventuring 🤙🏼

[@MrHikenbike]

@@PaddleAdventurer You know, I live in Macomb, MI and have been having a tough time finding nearbly places to try an overnight paddle. Do you know of any online resources that I can check out. I've looked with no success. I'm okay with Canada locations too. My and my bro were going to take a trip to the Coldwater / Midland area. Thanks in advance.

[@PaddleAdventurer]

@@MrHikenbike I'm not familiar with camping spots in MI but if you come over to Ontario check out the Provincial Parks. www.ontarioparks.com/en

[@michelleh5727]

Amanda from TidelinetoAlpine mentioned your channel... I love Suping! I glanced over your content.. seems we've paddled some of the same places in Florida... Looking forward to seeing them from your perspective:)

[@PaddleAdventurer]

Hey Michelle! Thanks for coming to check out my channel 🙌🏼 I hope you enjoy and find my content fun and helpful! Yes, I visit Florida in the winter and will be back again for more exploring. I have a few vides from my past trip and blog posts for paddle locations I've check out. Are you in Florida?

[@joshisbaked]

found your channel about a month ago ish, been loving it since, was kinda hoping to see more SUP multiday adventures and you just granted my wish! Cant wait to see!! keep it up marybeth! (plus you guys should do some adventures up here in north sask!)

[@PaddleAdventurer]

Hey Josh! Thanks for subscribing and your kind comment! Have you done any backcountry camping on a paddle board? Any tips?

[@joshisbaked]

@@PaddleAdventurer sadly I have not yet! the most i've done is dive into youtube vids, watching your vids, I feel like you have a better handle on things first hand then I do haha

[@PaddleAdventurer]

You should totally plan your first trip! Find something small to do first. 1 night and a short calm paddle to the site. Or even do a half day test paddle with gear and a picnic! You got this 🙌🏼🏕

[@joshisbaked]

@@PaddleAdventurer OH TOTALLY! I had a x2/3 day trip planned (70km, easy paddle down river) for my bday on canada day but, being canada day, everyone always calls in sick and i'm a manager of a retail shop so it always falls on me.. lil shits >.< mid july a buddy and I are going camping so ima bring the board then, and then aug 20-30 doing a huge canoe trip with the same guy (455km paddle) and i was planning on brining my paddle for the first little chunk (lots of small towns stops along the way to drop off my board and jump in the canoe if its to much)

[@PaddleAdventurer]

@@joshisbaked lol! Too bad you had to cancel your long weekend plans but it sounds like you have some other epic ones to look forward to! 455km - wow! That sounds like an ADVENCHA!

[@ArcheryAdventures]

[@stevenrogers9687]

Hi i have watched lots of your sup vids - i am a newbie here in the UK - so i have a starter board 15psi hydro force oceanic 10 ft x 32" x 5" so i am up and away paddled the river wye 6 miles yesterday without a dunk the board feels good im 85 kg im interested on your thoughts on my board for me ... I sort of wish i had bought a 6" board but then i read that actually even RED boards are only 5" and finally if i put more psi in my board would it make it any more stable ... thanks in advance

[@PaddleAdventurer]

Thanks for checking out my videos, Steven! Your board should have a volume and weight capacity. This is dictated by the dimensions of the board but also the construction. Do you know that number for your board? The wider the board the more stable it will be. It sounds like you have a good all round beginner board. Rigidity depends on the construction and quality of the board. Never pump a board beyond the manufactures instructed PSI. You'll likely pop the board if you do. The seams and glue won't be able to hold that pressure. Red Paddle Co boards go to a higher PSI because of the quality and construction. Like a lot of things you get what you pay for type of thing. I hope this helps!

[@stevenrogers9687]

thank you 😊

[@PaddleAdventurer]

Have the safest and best time out on the water!

[@halil7682]

Anyone looking SUP buddies? 😂

[@PaddleAdventurer]

Depending where you are located there are lots of great SUP Facebook groups.
