One vital bit of kit you should invest in before you go paddle boarding is a Personal Flotation Device, also known as a PFD. Not to be confused with the digital document. If you’re unsure of the different PFD’s available, or you’re wondering what the difference is between a life jacket and a buoyancy aid, then hopefully this blog will explain everything :)

In this blog, I'm going to guide you through some of my favourite winter SUP essentials. All the items mentioned in this blog have been tried, tested, and bought by either myself, or a member of our stand up paddle boarding club. No sneaky ads hidden here.
