  • My other half Bianca bought a Stand Up Paddle Board last year & we had it out a couple of times before I purchased one. We took it to John Muir Country Park near Dunbar for a sunset paddle. Then 2 weeks later in the morning at the same bay.

    Looks fun to be out on your paddle board, and amazing to be out at sunset! Bianca sure did look like a natural! Cool to hear about John Muir Park, we’ve got a few places named after him here too! The Kayak chair looks great- I could probably do that better than standing - lol! 😆👍👍 Cheers!

    Now that looked wonderful Kev. Having the flexibility to be able to stand up or kneel down and then also use it as a kayak seems brilliant.
    And some great filming too as the Sun set behind you.
    Sorry I’m a bit late - just got back from a bit of an epic Europe trip.
    Have a good week mate.

    Get yourself a pair of dry trousers and and a pair of wet suit boots, makes a big difference when you keep yourself dry, much comfier and you stay out alot longer. I wear them out on the inflatable kayak and my sea kayak
