    Dont know about Black Friday but I have found good sales on inflatable boards and kayaks at the beginning and the end of the season. The inflatable paddle boards on sale at Aldi were $50 off the price I paid at the beginning of the season which $100 off the prices I saw elsewhere even online.

    I just taught myself start slow worked my way up to kneeling then standing. Recently connected with a couple other paddle boarders at naturist venue and shared tips

    Right now only interested in lakes and similar quiet bodies of water not ready to do anything with waves.

    Amazon has a bunch on sale some for under $200

    The key is to balance with your paddle and always look at the horizon while standing. I didnt do that for a while and had quite a challenge. Since I have started doing that no problems whatsoever. I have an inflatable 33" wide 10' long. Its easy to transport around to the various lakes we have.

    Last year was very windy in Minn for some reason. It definitely makes it more challenging. This year has been less windy so far and will see if that holds over into paddleboard season. I generally go against the wind to start when i have more energy then let the wind take me while i sun. have to watch out for sailboats though. One lake I go to has alot of sailboats. the other 2 that are connected to it only allows kayaks, canoes, paddleboards which is nice.

    Down here on Port Phillip we had two occasions this last summer that I heard about where SUPpers were blown to the far side of the Port. Fortunately they didn't encounter the heads. I'm sticking to my sit-in kayak!

    I hear that. It's been a hell of a long winter (then again aren't they all)? It's mid march so we will be paddleboarding before we know it. Things will start to heat up quickly with the sun angle equal to September now. Falling in the lake for the time of the season is always an eye opener.

    I do when i can get away with it. Can do during the week when i have a day off when its typically quieter. can be alot of sailboat traffic at times but if some get too close, i jump in the lake for a bit. It is quite liberating though when able to. Great way to get sun and exercise at the same time
