Stand up Paddleboard Care Instructions

AIR VENT

The regulation of the internal air pressure on a Stand up Paddleboard is very important as it allows the core of the board to breathe. If you don’t have a vent then your board is sure to have problems either in de-laminating or internal damage from water on the core.

Do I need to wear a Life Jacket when I am Kayaking or Stand up Paddleboarding?

A stand up paddle board is not a vessel and so you are not required to wear a lifejacket.

But with Kayaking or Canoeing on 1 November 2010, new compulsory lifejacket wearing requirements came into effect. Lifejackets are required to be worn in the following circumstances and this covers kayaks and canoes:

FOR CHILDREN LESS THAN 12 YEARS OF AGE

  • Are required to wear an appropriate lifejacket at all times. This can be a Type 1, Type 2 or Type 3.

FOR THOSE 12 YEARS OR OVER

  • Are required to wear a lifejacket on enclosed waters more than 100m from shore.
  • On open(coastal) waters, including when crossing a coastal bar or on white water at all times.
  • This can be a Type 1, Type 2 or Type 3.

Are you looking for more out of Paddling? You may be looking for people to go paddling with?

The great thing about Kayaking and Stand up Paddle Boarding is that there are so many Canoe and Kayak Clubs that you will enjoy the adventure with others.

As a member of a club you will often pay a membership fee but the advantage is that you receive all the insurance coverage, advice and general guidance, as well as development days and tours. Paddling groups and Clubs are located throughout Australia and we have compiled a sample to get you started.

Where to Kayak in South Australia

South Australia is the driest state, but has some of the most remarkable locations to kayak and many of these waterways are just a short drive from the Adelaide metro area.

Katarapko National Park is ideal for beginner paddlers and families and is located opposite the town of Loxton. Chambers Creek is popular as well as the waterways of Swan Reach and Morgan which have amazing wildlife and cliff views.

Just near Renmark is Chowilla Creek, which is known for paddlers to see 3 states in one day (SA, NSW and VIC).
