Paddle boarding in warm water

If you practice stand up paddle in relatively warm water, you will mainly need to protect yourself from the sun. For this it is advisable to wear a lycra top, a swimsuit, not forgetting sunglasses and a cap. Indeed, on the water, the reverberation is stronger and it is therefore important to protect yourself well. Also be careful not to forget your sun cream.

Paddle boarding in cold water

For a practice in colder water, you'll have to change your equipment. Indeed you will have to protect yourself not from the sun but from the cold. You will have to opt for thermal protection such as a wetsuit, to protect you from the wind but to keep you warm in case of a fall. Note that your outfit must also take into account your practice:

• - for surfing you should wear a neoprene wetsuit because you are regularly in contact with the water.
• - For any other discipline, you will have to adapt your outfit to your level, if falls are frequent, the neoprene will keep you warm. Otherwise it is possible to opt for waterproof equipment which will be very effective especially in windy conditions.

As you will have understood, the equipment adapts at first to the sensitivity of each person but also to his level and to the practice.
