The Most UNIQUE Paddle Board Experience in the UK? (The Strood Mersea Island)
On Sunday the 20th of October there was a huge high tide of 5.83m, so the stand up paddle board had to come out for a little play! 🏄🏼♂️
Mersea Island is the UK's most easterly inhabited island and there is one road on and one road off, The Strood. When the tide is over 5m, the road gets covered by the sea.
A few cars managed to drive across the flooded road but unfortunately for them this one got stuck! 🌊🚙 I tried to give them a push, but they were not going anywhere! 👎🏼

I don't know,,,, it only pulls two skiers.
@@oldandintheway9805 haha might be able to tow something with it 😅
Well this is where YT took me today when I woke up. I learnt that they are in fact not boards rather flat inflatables. Actually a decent bit of trivia.
@@bensmithkent22 haha that is the beauty of RUclips! 🙌🏼 There you go you learn something new everyday! 🏄🏼♂️ Thanks glad you enjoyed!
Looks like an average road in England now a days
@@WilliamBelibaste haha 😂 you’re not wrong there!
Of all the days to do this, you picked the one windy day in what seems like months.
@@gnorweb7339 haha yes it a bit rough out there! 🌊 Windy enough to make the journey back difficult! Ended up walking back round the sea wall! 💨

That might be the last place on earth I would want to SUP but good tips for me as a beginner. I'm learning in the ocean near Playa del Carmen, pretty intimidating at first. Thanks for the video!
@@erichesse9682 haha why would you want to SUP there? 😅 I mean I get the water is probably not as clear as Playa Del Carmen! 🌊 Glad you found the video helpful! 🙌🏼🏄🏼♂️
@MorewithMat I'm just messing with you, looks like fun. Cheers!
@@erichesse9682 haha all good! 🏄🏼♂️ Happy paddling! 🙌🏼
Blimey Matt thats interesting 👍 nice film mate

@@StephenJReid Haha 😂😂😂 How about a mooring? ⚓️
How hard is it getting back on the board adter falling dude? Im really interested in starting SUP. Looks like a great hobby
@@danielcharlton4025 I’d say it’s fairly easy but depends on your own ability/strength 🏄🏼♂️ Wouldn’t let it stop you from giving it a go could be worth getting a lesson or renting one to see how you get on 🙌🏼
@@MorewithMat thanks for the reply dude. Yeah completely agree. Do you have a video on boards for beginners? Thanks again for the help 🙂
@ No worries! 🙌🏼 Not really this one is probs my main tip/beginner type video. I have loads of general SUP videos on my channel with a few tips here and there but not many dedicated to just hints/tips 🏄🏼♂️ I did film one the other day though a ‘common mistake’ type video so keep an eye out for that one soon! 👌🏼
Another great video Matt, Thanks 👍. Remember doing a mile swim race there a few years ago , nightmare we were so late to start the tide was turning . 😂. Don’t forget you have Osea island & Northey island / both covered by the tide , my grandmother lived on osea island for many years.
@@Mf19593 Thanks Michael appreciate it! 🙌🏼 Oh no that’s not good! Makes a tough challenge even harder! 😅 Oh yes I always forget about them! Guess because they are more private 🏝️ Wow what an amazing place to live! 🙌🏼
camping alone is like a whole other level!! unfortunately as a woman idk if I could ever do it but I like the idea of challenging myself so we will see...
@@LivinLargewithLCruu Yes defo a different by yourself but also get a whole different experience out of it! 🏕️ I do get it though, guess you just have to find the right places you feel comfortable in! 🙌🏼
I like your attitude towards adventure! Nice work! 💪
@@KombiLife Thanks, really appreciate it! 🙌🏼 Can’t let a bit of cold weather stop all the fun! 🏄🏼♂️☃️
Young / easy but be mindful Older / hard

Dipping the toesies unprotected in the cold water... I'm like nope, nope not on purpose!
@@christiemartindill9070 haha they do get a bit chilly this time of year! 🥶 Usually I wear wetsuit boots for autumn/winter paddling ❄️🏄🏼♂️
I see no swan attack see a knob splashing them, google why swans do the tail wag.
You saw a knob preventing a swan attack 🦢 Have you ever been eye level with a daddy swan before? I’m no animal psychologist but I’d say the ‘tail wag’ was to get to water off 💦
@@MorewithMat I kayak regularly in fact yesterday I kayaked through a group of 6-7 swans with no incident. On a serious note did you google their behaviours, that tail wag was them showing no intent on attacking.
@@ff56hs fair play you’re a brave man! 🦢 Of course I have gone past swans with no issues, but have also quite literally been attacked before 😅 Do you think swans feel less threatened by kayakers as they are much lower and look smaller in the water? Tail wagging or not, its other body language I was more concerned about 😅
Great video, would like to do some wild camping myself, newbie with paddleboarding just got mine August. Ive used a jet boil for a couple of years now, never used a lighter as i found the built in ignition works well and Ive never boiled water with the lid on 😂
@@braniams thanks appreciate it! 🏕️🏄🏼♂️ It’s great fun way to spend the evening, done a few of them now! Nice will you use it over the winter? Love jetboils! Mines the zip so doesn’t have one inbuilt. Guessing you have the flash? ⚡️

@@Morio412 for use in the winter aswell 5mm if it’s just for the summer months 3mm will be fine! 🙌🏼 Thanks it was! 🏄🏼♂️
@@MorewithMat Thanks, I am getting a paddle board myself, I used to canoe and I had a dry suit and couldn't get on with it at all as my clothes would get just as wet when it was raining due to sweat that I might as well have just let them get rained on.
@@Morio412 oh nice sounds like fun! 🙌🏼 Yeh guess that true! I’ve never used a dry suit and in the summer I just wear short and t shirt ☀️

@@emmabanks4896 need to get yourself on the good list then! 🎁
Hi Mat, you could maybe try a little silicone spray to help the fin slide.

Broooo, that E-fin is sick!
Cheers man! I have been out on it since and I can confirm, it is sick!
What’s with the Bulgaria flag on the bag? Love that, my Bulgarian girlfriend happy was amazed to see that.
Ive patched a flag onto that bag for each country its been to with me 🇧🇬 Me and a friend went on a hiking trip about 6-7 years ago trying to climb the highest mountain in Bulgaria (Musala) via a 3 day 2 night hike. Lets just say we were vastly under prepared and the taxi dropped us off at the wrong starting point which meant we got slightly lost following the wrong path. Planned to wild hammock camp but were higher than the tree line so had to sleep on a ground sheet with an emergency shelter over us with the temperature dropping to -2 degrees C over night! ❄️ Basically, didn't make it to the top, nearly died and wish I videoed the trip it was one hell of a (failed) adventure! ⛰ Still got it on the list to go back and give it another try! And yes we did have bear scarers with us! 🐻
That water does not look clean 😅
@@Systemv1 that’s what it’s like up a muddy creek in the UK 😂 Although this was also filmed just around the corner on a different day ⤵️ ruclips.net/user/shortsnsj-VMhcquU?si=ql-vM3GeLUHQnFqM
@@MorewithMat interesting; definitely do have some concerns around the general quality of river waters around the UK, especially in the southeast.
@@Systemv1 yeh defo not the best from what I’ve read! 🤮 This is around Mersea Island so is salt water. I know it looks dirty as hell but the windy conditions and in coming tide chopping up the muddy sea bed makes it look a lots worse than it is 🌊 (I hope 😂)
Haven't used mine this year, but I definitely find it more comfy than a mat on the floor in a tent. I found that an underquilt was a great addition last year.
@@paulsslightlyactivelife underquilt sounds dreamy! 🙌🏼 I like it over a tent as feel like it’s less gear to lug around! Hoping to get another camp go out in it before winter really sets in! 🥶
I’ll call this one a banana shaped learning curve 😂 Certainly lots of improvements to be made to this setup, maybe a different hammock 🤷🏼♂️ Any tips/advice warmly welcome 😂
Spiderman is jealous with all the rope tangling 🤣💪🏼 I use the onewind hammock. With ridgeline, nice flat lay. Easy setup too 😄
@@SANDERVANDERVEEN_ haha he defo would 😂 Oh nice will check it out! Feel like my setup will hopefully change/improve drastically 🤞🏼
Use hand pump, because it's real warm up before paddling 😊
@@Kingas-z9f haha that’s true! Especially with the colder months approaching! 🥶
