For many starters out there, traveling with a collection of boards will be a bit nuisance since they need to take a walk in the park, and so on. Well, though it is partially true, you and your entourage should not have any problem when doing stand up paddle board trips.
The stand up paddle board trips can be a daunting task, but very doable. You need to do your homework, do a little research, and plan everything so that you will have a successful trip with your friends. Here are the useful tips for you.
First things first, count the number of participants of your trip. The more participants, the more space of the vehicle you will need to carry the others’ stuff. The second thing, consider about how many items you will carry around. Ask yourself some questions like these: Do I need more socks? Do I need more t-shirts? And so on.
When doing stand up paddle board trips, you will need board bags to store your SUP board. What is the best bag for it? The answer is obvious. It is anything large. If you bring more than two boards, consider purchasing a double-board bag to simplify everything. Most double-board bags will save you hundred dollars compared to purchase individual bags.
Presuming that you are a real traveler, you will bring a laundry bag of yours. You will need to put your dirty clothes in trash-bags. You can either place it in the nose, tail, or wide-points in the board bag. Store all the dirty clothes in the trash bags, and you will be golden. Additionally, you don’t need an extra bag to store them all. Instead, you can just use your board bag.
Before getting the airplane ticket, you need to select the right airline for you. Also, keep in mind about the airline regulations about the baggage.
Presuming you already rent some units for your stand up paddle board trips, the next thing you need to consider is how to travel with it by ground transportation. Cars, trucks, SUV’s are basically awesome choice when you do stand up paddle board trips in Kauai. If you come with your entourage, you will need the larger vehicle to carry people and boards. For instance, SUV rent can cost you around $20 – $40 per day. The good thing here is that most of the vehicles to rent in Kauai are ready with the roof racks and storage space for paddle boards.
Last but not least, you just need to have fun! Well, that’s the point, right?
