Mandatory equipment for sea SUP paddling

Standing up on a board, paddling to the rhythm of the rhythm, with the blue immensity and infinite sky as your only horizon. That's the essence of stand-up paddling (SUP). But before you set out to conquer the waves and the sea breeze, you'll need some preparation. Yes, before you set out on the water, it's crucial to have the right tools. Here's the perfect paddler's survival kit, to make every outing a serene and memorable adventure.

The Basics: A Lifejacket

We can't say it often enough: the lifejacket is the ABC. Forget preconceived ideas about being bulky or unattractive; today, there are models designed specifically for SUP, combining safety, comfort and style. Mandatory whenever you venture more than 300 meters from shore, it's your best friend in case of an unexpected fall. So choose wisely and make it your companion on every outing.

The Leash

The leash, the lanyard that connects your ankle to your board, is more than a piece of equipment: it's your personal lifeline. In the event of a fall, it prevents your board from slipping away from you, so you don't have to swim desperately after it. Obligatory in all circumstances, the leash is the umbilical cord between you and your boat. Never forget it.

Neoprene wetsuit

Seawater can be cool, even under the blazing sun. For waters below 18°C, a neoprene wetsuit is not a luxury: it's essential. It protects you from the cold and the elements, allowing you to enjoy your session without fear of thermal shock. And on milder days, the right outfit will protect you from UV rays.

Safety Kit

Beyond the 300-meter zone, the open sea becomes a new adventure. To cope with it, safety equipment is essential: waterproof light, whistle, and why not, a towing system. These are details that can change everything if necessary, turning a perilous situation into a simple mishap.

The Earth connection

At sea, the cell phone becomes a survival tool, provided it's waterproof or in a suitable pouch. Being able to call for help or simply reassure loved ones on land is crucial. Before you leave, let someone know your itinerary and expected time of return. It's simple, but it can change everything.
