Hi and thanks for visiting the Paddle Ranger website.

We are SUP paddleboard enthusiasts who are passionate about the sport and love to share our experiences and information gleamed on everything relating to paddleboarding.

This includes top tips for beginners as well as practical information on paddleboarding equipment and must-have information on all aspects of the sport.

In time we hope to have an abundance of great posts on paddling in general, including Kayaking and other paddle-related water sports.

Paddleboarding as a hobby and sport has really taken off over the last couple of years, mainly due to the covid 19 pandemic and the ‘forced’ move to holidaying at home or at least from a home base. It’s even spawned a new phrase ‘Staycations’ owing to the fact that many overseas holiday destinations were suddenly out-of-bounds and holidaying from home became the only option.

On the plus side, this in turn has alerted folks to what they have been missing  all their lives – the joys of paddleboarding.

A whole new holiday experience has opened up for many thousands of people, and the rush to buy paddleboards and all the other related equipment is off the charts!

Suddenly folks are being made aware of all the exciting adventures to be had from their own back door, from paddleboarding on the Bayou to exploring reservoirs in Scotland, there is no end to the adventures that can be experienced from a paddleboard.

With inflatable boards being easier to pack that a solid Kayak, the sport has really taken off as the convenience of inflatable SUP paddleboarding means that you can be in your car and on the water in no time at all.

We hope you enjoy this blog and of course the world of the paddleboarder!
