Every owner of the furry buddy must be happy to spend the time together outdoors, having fun, and keeping the memory with their best friend. If you are going to tag along with your puppy or dog with you, you will be able to take him or her with you on a paddle boarding kauai as well.

Do you know that most dogs are excited to see other people paddling and boating, fishing, playing on the water, and they want to do the same? Dogs are even fond of jumping on and off for a swim and enjoy the water of Kauai river. If you are thinking about tagging along with your dog for the next SUP tour, then you will need to consider few safety tips before proceeding.

Introduce the SUP to your dog

Your best buddy will need time to get familiar with the SUP. If he or she is nervous it won’t be fun at all, nor safe for your puppy. Some dogs are fast learners. They can just jump onto the board when you are placing it on the water. Some breeds need more time to recognize the SUP board. Let your dog sniff, and play around the SUP board before getting on the water. Once your dog is familiar with it, time to get on the water.

Always check the weather

Not only human, dogs can be sick because of bad weather. If the forecast does not bring any good news for you and your dogs, you should postpone your plan. SUPing can be daunting when the winds challenge you. This may be difficult for you and your dog later. Unless your dog has been playing with SUP for months, you need to consider the weather.

Not only you, but your dog should also PFD for its safety. We come to prepare for the worst. Dogs tend to jump off for a swim. Not to mention that SUP boards can become unstable at some point so that it won’t be good for you and your furry friend. Not all dogs are made for floating. You will need to know that fact so that keep reminding to give your dog PFD.

The right SUP board size

Choosing the right size of your board can affect your paddle boarding kauai trip with your dog. Make sure that you choose the right size. If necessary, you need to tell the rental owner that you are going with your dog. He or she will know what kind of SUP board that is perfect for you.

No lashes

Contrary to the popular belief, you shouldn’t put a leash on your dog since it can tangle your furry friend. It is a death threat to them. Instead, you need to protect your dog 100%. The PFD will keep him safe but you should be vigilant when you are paddling out there.
