Stand-up paddleboarding has continued to soar in popularity this year, with more people than ever investing in one of the best inflatable paddleboards and best beginner SUPs. The problem with SUPing, however, especially for those relatively new to the sport, is that once summer starts to wane and the sea gets a bit bumpier, it’s not so easy to do the stand-up part of the paddling pursuit.
Paddling shouldn’t be confined to summer, though. There are plenty of excellent reasons to keep on kayaking and SUPing into autumn and beyond, but you do need to be a bit more confident in your kit and your capabilities. A paddleboard that transforms into a kayak promises to be the perfect versatile vehicle for the kind of choppy days the shoulder seasons often deliver.
