Some pics from a recent evening and morning paddle. Water was like glass 😍

the video doesn’t do justice to how beautiful the water looked.

Lake Sammamish, WA, and the beginning of the Sammamish River. A few minutes away from my house. Looked up and a bald eagle was right above me in a tree. So close! It wasn't a very tall tree, for once. Turned around and drifted with my eyes full of Mt Rainier.

And then I swam! So nice. The lake buoy said 62 F, but it felt nicer than that (and I was on the other half of the lake).

Hope you all have a fantastic long weekend coming up!

Excited to be a part of the SUP community officially 🤙🏼

After almost 2 years of looking into a paddleboard I finally purchased the ISLE Pioneer 3! I am incredibly excited but it seems that ISLE did send me the wrong color. They offered an exchange but I can’t help feel that the time lost isn’t worth it when every color they sell is gorgeous. Idk…maybe I should though just to hold them to a standard. Thoughts?

UPDATE: I reached out and they offered a $50 refund so I ended up taking that. Can’t complain about a gorgeous board for under $500 🙌🏼

Hi, I would like to get my first board. It will be for very calm waters in the canals in amsterdam.

I would also (if possible) occasionally take a friend on the board just to sit and roam around

I am looking at these 2, which do you recommend

I’m looking for a paddleboard buddy ! I live in the westend and I’m fairly new to paddle boarding

repost cause i forgot to put a title lol

hi everyone!

i have a small question that i’m looking to get some advice on. i’ve got 2 isups that i take out pretty regularly- most of my paddles are pretty local so i usually either inflate when i get to my access point or strap em to my roof rack for the 10-20 min drive.

my dilemma is this: i’ve got a trip with friends coming up and would love to bring the boards. it would be so much easier & better on space to not have them in the bags inside my car but im a bit worried about having them on my roof rack for the 5-6ish hour drive going 70 on the interstate.

do you guys think they’ll be fine or should i play a bit of packing tetris to get both of the travel bags wrestled in?
(pic unrelated, just wanted to throw in something pretty for your time)

Beauty day on the local river with great vibes! 😁👌
