What Should I Take Paddle Boarding in Scotland?

You will need yourself and perhaps some chums, with a taste for real adventure, and a love for the ocean and Scotland’s wild places. The equipment you should have whilst paddle boarding includes (as a minimum):

• Leash (Ankle or Quick release waist leash depending on environment)
• Paddle Board with fin (correctly sized for intended discipline and paddler)
• Paddle (correctly sized for paddler)
• Wetsuit (correctly fitted)
• PFD (Rated for your body weight)
• Form of Communication (VHF Radio or Mobile phone in waterproof case
• Sunscreen/Sun hat/eye protection (yes even in Scotland)
• Try and go with some friends, and let someone else know where you are going.
