Any experts out there.
Want a couple before heading to the lakes to celebrate/commiserate the Newcastle result.
The internet is indecipherable. I’ve checked out one in decathlon which appears to be ok - £350 quid - paddle and pump extra. Needs to support a big lad , will be used in Cornwall’ smaller waves.
Anyone know of any reputable retailers either internet or north west based.

Re: Stand up paddle boards
Decathlon boards are good quality for the price. Beware there are some cheaper ones out there that are rubbish.
If like me you are a "big lad" you need to go for a big board especially if you are a beginner. Decathlon do an 11 ft board which is pretty stable. Also don't skimp on the pump.
Good luck.
Of course get a buoyancy aid and stay safe. Those lakes are cold.

Re: Stand up paddle boards
Very popular down here..but each to their own.. I find them hard work and far less versatile than a sit on kayak.
