boarding trip can become stressful and uncomfortable if you don’t properly
prepare. We’re here to make sure that doesn’t happen.
 A high-quality wetsuit will keep you comfortable even in the chilliest
wind and water. Look for a four mm to seven mm wetsuit made
specifically for cold climates. While thick wetsuits will keep you warm,
remember you may have to sacrifice some mobility.
 Do you expect to paddle in water colder than 45 degrees? If so, opt for
a drysuit Drysuits have a nylon waterproof layer and airtight seals
around your wrists and ankles to block water. Although, you still have
to layer up because drysuits provide zero insulation.
 Stay warm with a thermal shirt and pants. SUPing in cold water is no
small feat and often reserved for experienced paddlers (if you’re
planning a cold weather SUP trip, then we’re probably talking about
you!) The right top and bottoms will keep you warm and prevent
overheating from your wetsuit.
 Neoprene booties and gloves are key to regulating your body
temperature in chilly conditions. Look for booties two mm to eight mm
thick to provide the perfect layer of insulation against the cold water.
Find gloves with grips made specifically for SUP or kayak.
Fun Add-Ons to Improve Your Experience
We’re not going to tell you a high-quality waterproof speaker or kayak bundle
is absolutely necessary for a paddle boarding getaway, but they’ll certainly
take it to the next level. Take a look at some of our favorite accessories for
your next iSUP trip.
 The cooler deck bag is an important accessory for your all-day paddling
adventure (securely straps to your iRocker board, water resistant, fits
all of your essentials)
 Diversify your experience with gear to easily convert your iSUP into a
kayak
 Keep yourself and your family safe with a sports life vest equipped with
a whistle made specifically for SUPing. You don’t think you need it until
you really need it.
