Solo SUP adventure / Smelly fish and sleeping on a cliff edge!

After being shown some of the basics to SUP touring from Will our SUPboarder touring expert, Reuben goes on his own mini solo SUP adventure. But it’s not your usual adventure…he has no food!  For his own personal challenge Reuben sets off for a night away, hoping to get back to basics with only his Red Paddle Co Sport 11′, a dry bag full of the basic camping essentials, a fishing line and a rock pooling net. As well as catching his dinner Reuben caught the SUP adventure bug too!

“A SUP adventure no matter how small should be experienced by all. I set out to challenge myself but found it was more about taking a step back from busy life to get back to basics once again. It's not until you stop you realise how much just passes us by. Get out there, it's waiting for you! Reuben”

Let us know in the comments below if you’d like to see more SUP adventures and different things you can do with your SUP. Also check out Will’s Touring videos below. We hope this has inspired you to get out there and give it a go. It’s my turn next!!

More videos with adventure ideas like this please!
Trying to decide between a Red compact and a Hatha Stride. I travel a lot by air so compact would be better for that, but I’m not sure if I could do one nighters like this on a compact. No fishing for me though!

Thanks. Realised the compact doesn’t have the weight capacity to take any gear with me so I’m going for the Stride! Do you guys share your Geosup usernames so we can follow your trip ideas?

Reuben, After watching your videos, (very entertaining), and seeing your reviews of boards and paddles, I took the plunge and purchased a 12’6 Blackfin. I’m 69, better late than never… and am looking forward to some touring along with my kayak sailing trips this spring. Keep those videos coming!

Great vid. Thanks for sharing. Do you think a Red 12’6 Sport (12’6×30″) would be able to handle the waves as easily as you made it look like with the 11’0x30″ one? I’m right now debating between the Red Sports 11’3×32″x4.7″ and 12’6×30″x5.9″. Which one do you think would be handle those waves better? Thank you.

Reuben. I love this movie. You should be giving us one of these once a week 🙂 I have a question. Somewhere in the video you commented that you would not want to be in that kind of chop if you did not have a board with battens. Has your opinion changed 4 years later ? Considering starboard double chambers and the new super stiff isle explorer. Do you still think that the reds with battens are the best for chop? I bought the Red 11.3 sport partly based on this video and my own test drive. So far I… Read more »

Great. I am curious about the 12.6 plus. I had the original 12.6 sport and I did not love it. I wonder how the 12.6 plus will compare to the 11.3 sport. I wonder if the 11.3 will turn out to be more versatile with its wider width and more rocker ( i think) I wonder if the 12.6 will be less stiff with its extra length. Looking forward to your tests
