Everything you need to know about paddle boarding - A BEGINNER'S GUIDE!

You sent in a load of great questions on Instagram about paddle boarding - covering everything from access, equipment, insurance and technique. I've created this video to answer all these and provide a useful resource for anyone else considering paddle boarding for the first time or wants to learn more about the sport.
If you have anymore questions you can either put them below or message me on Instagram (www.instagram.co.uk/lizzie_outside) or directly on my website (www.lizzieoutside.co.uk)
Here are some of the resources / notes I mentioned in the video too:

Thanks so much for this and sharing your knowledge with us ...I am a regular water 'dipper' and wanted a paddle board for ages & after a few wobbly tries on someone's board..I was hooked, its indescribably wonderfull ....ive just invested in my first board ... ..I'm definitely going to book a few individual lessons with an instructor and join a club ....
Safety is paramount and like you said, ....and I wouldn't consider wandering onto open water without experienced company ..

Just watched this video based on a recommendation. Bought the book yesterday, so was happy to find that it was yours! Thank you for the hints and tips. I look forward to getting stuck into the book.

Lizzie what a gorgeous video. Thanks so much.
I’m a lightweight, bought a paddle board to relax on the water, I’ve a lot to learn, starting out on the lakes where there are many other boarders to learn from and with. Hoping for a fun summer. By the way for sure the Isles of Scilly are magical. I visited many years ago. 😃

Hi, just moved to the uk recently and I’m unsure on laws as such and where I can go. I’ve heard from locals that canals aren’t the safest as I take my kids with me. Is there anywhere around Shropshire Wales you could reccomend

Hi there, have a look at gopaddling.info/paddlepoints/ for loads of routes, welcome to the UK :)
