What an endorsement. I fully agree that Lake Superior is special! I was also there this fall and the colours were spectacular!

It really is a wild place to paddle! Thanks for watching!

It’s a great road trip! I went to school in TBay and usually go every summer so I’ve done it a lot. Great point on cell reception! It is definitely in and out. Have fun going back this spring!

Isn't it an awesome road trip?! Northern shores of Lake Superior is my favourite!

Thanks for coming along! Mono Lake is WILD! Such a different experience than anything else.

Thanks for watching. Mono Lake is pretty special and very unique! I just looked up De Weerribben- Wieden in the Netherlands and it looks beautiful! What type of wildlife would you see there? Looks very similar to my local spot here in Hamilton, Ontario 🇨🇦 where there is a ton of wildlife like beavers, foxes, deer, mink and loads of birds!

@@PaddleAdventurer awesome! We do have beavers in the Netherlands, but mostly in another area (de Biesbosch). In de Weerribben- Wieden there are otters 😍, deer, foxes, lots of different birds, etc. Haven't seen them yet irl, but.. I did once see a kingfisher who suddenly flew by .. soooooo blue! Really hope to see some beavers and/or otters someday. Hoping for it everytime I'm on the water. Maybe I should start wearing a hat like yours! That will probably help.. 😂LOL!!

Amazing! I love seeing wildlife out exploring, especially on the water! 🦫 I hope you get to too! A fun hat might just help 😆 On my list is seeing a moose munching in the water. Only ever seen them close to or on a road.

Thanks so much for watching and reaching out!

Those tufas sneaking up on you and the super salty water was out of this world creepy and cool!

Thanks for watching! Mono Lake was something else. What a unique place to paddle 🙌🏼🪐

It was the most wild and unique place! Thanks for watching!

I'm a Red Paddle Co ambassador so I have a few different ones but theses are my brother and sister-in-law's boards. They have the Red Voyager 13'2 and the Red Compact 11'

That's my brother, Andrew. Check out my last video on Lake Tahoe. th-cam.com/video/nisKuD1L7lQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=o91Rr2_qRPjbmzoA The one in the kayak is my partner, Tony. It's a super unique place to explore! I love adventuring new and amazing places.

Great question! iSUP PVC does get a lot harder to roll in the cold. This is especially tricky for winter paddling. When it's cold and icy I tend to fold as best as possible in order to get it in my trunk and transport it home. It doesn't always look pretty but it doesn't need to. From there it's easier to properly roll and put away once inside where it's warmer. You could also pack an insulated bottle/jug with warm water to pour over the board but you'd have to work quickly before the water freezes.

Great question! You should be okay depending on the quality of your boards, the distance you're going and how you strap them down. I've travelled a few hours with two inflatable Red boards on the roof of my car with no issues. If you don't have roof racks I'd recommend getting them as flat as possible against the bed of the truck or at the side so they have some flat support. Make sure the boards are pumped to the proper paddling PSI so they are firm. You might see some indents on the deck pads which should eventually come out. Or depending on the boards sizes and how they fit together you can face the deck pads towards each other so the straps only touch the PVC. Don't leave them strap tightly when you aren't travelling to help prevent any indents. Keep in mind rocks from the road or the sun if you have prolonged travel could damage the boards. A cover would help prevent this. I have this VAMO one and it's great collabs.shop/rnduay Hope this helps!

Bucket list paddle!

Thanks, Gary! Another kayak expedition in the editing line so keep an eye out this winter!

Thanks for all the support, Gary!

Thanks for the tip! I’ll have to check it out. I’ve actually only ever been to areas on Lake Superior on the Canadian side.

Thanks for watching and for the kind comment. It’s a beautiful park! Highly recommended. Have fun when you go. And say hi to the gators. 🐊🫣😆 I’ve since paddled with a bunch more in Florida!

Thanks for watching! Lake Ontario around the Toronto Islands? I wouldn't say it's any worse than most water near a major city plus there is lots of wildlife living in and around that area. It is an incredible view of the city skyline but as for going in the water, to each their own. Have you heard of Swim Drink Fish? They do lots of great stuff one of which is testing the water. www.swimdrinkfish.ca/

What an awesome weekend together! 😆 Right?! The dedication. 👏🏼

Thanks for watching! It was an amazing weekend and Lake Tahoe is such a beautiful area!

Highly recommended! 🙌🏼🏔️💙

We had an awesome time. Isn't it a beautiful area? Check out the full adventure video here th-cam.com/video/nisKuD1L7lQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=nSdqEk8-A9HaIyHI

Views for days! Such an epic weekend!

Thanks for watching! I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Paddle boarding Lake Tahoe was so super awesome! The water clarity and colour is next level 🤩

It's an incredible place to paddle!

Thanks for your comment and insight. I don't know the full history of inflatable waist belts but I suspect they were invented for emergency situations like this one for paddling and the ones on airplanes.

It was an awesome sunset. I wasn't expecting it to pop like that!

It was a great day helping Mike achieve the first of his Great Lake's crossings.

Thanks for watching this video too, Gary! And thank you for the kind words; I'm glad you enjoyed it!

😆 I love swimming in it in the summer months. I even went for a dip in October! It was gorgeous this year.

@@PaddleAdventurer :0 girl you crazy

@@mackeerererallll6 You're lucky to live on such an incredible lake!

It was magical! And you know the camera doesn’t totally capture the full beauty of it.

Thanks! Hard to beat Ontario fall views

Thanks for the kind and helpful comment! I agree with the front or drop zipper, although I still struggle using it when going to the bathroom 😅

lol exactly! ❌🦈

Love that! Sounds like a beautiful summer with refreshing swims!

This is a great point and I would suspect that a company like Mustang Survival would not make something that isn't going to help you and give you a chance of surviving an unfortunate situation. When testing this model it was extremely secure around my head without using and tying the extra straps.

I love that you also get to have quality time on the water with your 4 yr old!

🤙🏼🍁

Thanks for watching and for the kind words, Gary!

It was a fun morning!

Perfect view!

Busy but beautiful spot to see Ontario fall colours!

Thanks for the kind words. I’m glad it was helpful 😄🙌🏼❄️

It was great to get out on a fall hike with my partner! And thank you so much! 😄

A beautiful reminder!
