I live in Leeds and I’m looking at getting the Bluefin Cruise Carbon 15’ for both river and sea SUP.

Nice video though I beg to differ on the leash I feel its better to wear a quick release on inland water ways as flows can change on rivers quickly and if you do get snagged an ankle leash can be extremely difficult to remove if you need to get out of a tricky situation ..

I paddled from there on Tuesday evening with a group, it was very pleasant.. I can imagine it being quite challenging after a downpour.

I've seen it's quite popular with group paddles, looks like great fun.

Hi, please get a quick release waist leash for your safety, if your ankle leash gets caught, you will be dragged underwater and you can´t reach it: Death by drowning!

Where did u park and did you blow sups up before going to the Lake or at side?

[@harrypaddles]

Normally park as close as we can to where you are getting in, and we blow the sups up at the side as they're too big to fit in the car otherwise 👍
