In this SUPboarder video, Beth Kirby introduces you to White Water SUP and what types of paddling can be done on moving water.
White Water SUP combines the technical aspects of paddleboarding with the high paced, high octane nature of white water. It’s normally done on inland waterways, be it man-made or natural rivers.
The different types of disciplines included in white water SUP are river running, river surfing and SUPX.
This is the first video in a series of White Water SUP videos that Beth will be hosting. Stay tuned for more soon.
Before trying white water SUP, It’s important to understand the risks, dangers and the correct type of safety equipment to wear including a quick release waist leash before heading out on white water. Get some coaching and avoid paddling alone. Beth will be bringing you more videos about the right gear, safety and top tips.
