Stand up paddleboarding can also be taken in the wet season. For most of the tropical countries, rain can move in cycles of bitter. That\u2019s the reason why many SUP paddlers consider wearing the warmer options on the same day. Here is everything you need to know when you are planning to SUP offseason. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h1><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The wind<\/span><\/h1>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Many paddle boarders underestimate the wind and end up with an unpleasant experience. Well, it does not matter which level you master, wind can still beat you. Even in the bright day, the wind can have such negative impact on your energy. Not to mention that you may experience lower temperature in your body when the rain falls. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h1><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The warm weather<\/span><\/h1>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Even though it is a wet season, it can be warm in certain locations. And believe it, it can be sunny in some parts too. So, it goes without saying that applying sunscreen is important on sunny days. Of course, you could also opt to wear a good hat and good pair of sunglasses. This is also the key to avoid direct contact with sunlight. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h1><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Know the condition<\/span><\/h1>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Observe the condition prior to getting on board. You could wear the protective suit when the water temperature is too cold. The key here is to regulate your core temperature so that it will prevent you from the injuries. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h1><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">What you wear<\/span><\/h1>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Consider wearing the wetsuits since you can add more layers if you think that the weather is colder than you expected before. Keep your hands, feet and head warm with some protection. If the water of Kauai is too cold, you could consider using neoprene. That will be great to prevent the coldness. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h1><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Get hydrated<\/span><\/h1>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Stay hydrated. This is a priority. When folks get dehydrated, they may not survive their <\/span>sup or kayak adventure<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. Depending on how far away you are, consider bringing lots of water to keep you fueled. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h1><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Stick together with your team<\/span><\/h1>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Now it is very important. You need to stick together with your friends so that you can help each other in case of emergency. After all, it is no fun if you are alone, isn\u2019t it? <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">**<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; There is nothing wrong with off-season sup or kayak.
