Dining on the Water: How to Plan the Perfect SUP Picnic
Why crowd into a noisy lakeside cafe when you can have the best seat in the house—right in the middle of the water? A "SUP Picnic" is the ultimate way to enjoy nature, tranquility, and great food. But dining on a moving board requires a bit of planning.
1. Choosing the Right Platform
For a successful picnic, stability is your priority. You need space for yourself and your cooler bag. This is where a Wide Stable SUP Board shines. The extra width ensures that when you reach for your sandwich or shift your weight to grab a drink, the board stays level.
Pro Tip: Use the bungee cords on the nose of your Touring SUP Board to secure your dry bag and cooler. Always keep the heaviest items in the center to maintain balance.
2. The SUP Picnic Checklist
- Finger Foods: Choose items that don't require cutlery (wraps, grapes, cheese cubes).
- Hydration: Insulated water bottles stay cold longer under the sun.
- Anchor: A small folding anchor is a lifesaver to keep you from drifting away while you eat.
- Waste Management: Always bring a dedicated bag for your trash. Leave no trace!
3. Preparation is Key
Nothing ruins a picnic like being too tired to eat. Use your 12V paddle board pump to get your board ready at the parking lot so you save all your energy for the scenic paddle to your secret cove.
