KNOWLEDGE
Gear: For white water sup you need inflatable boards with a highly resistant skin, wider than 34in/86cm with volume in excess of 300l. A carbon adjustable paddle is a nice accompaniment. You need a wetsuit, shoes helmet, protection west, knee and elbow protectors.
Places: Almost all rivers that people white water kayak on are suitable for sup. It’s important to respect the difficulty level – even for professional level paddlers level 3 and above is really difficult. Even advanced paddlers are encouraged to seek instruction, follow all safety practises and use the correct gear. Information about rivers, water levels and difficulty can be found at www.4paddlers.com and www.kajaktour.de
