    Hey dude! A good but chilled water is that of Salcombe. Usually calm and many beaches to discover in the estuary! Then it's just a beautiful when you get onto the sea.
    Another is abersoch. Anywhere around the twon of abersoch is explorers heaven. Brill content. Love it.

      Thanks for the tips! Salcombe is on my list for this year. Not heard of the other place, I’ll do a bit of research. Thanks for subscribing, lots planned for 2024.

      Well if you and your partner ever make it down here I have two boards you can borrow and I’ll take you to some cool caves that are suitable for beginners.

    Absolute gem of a place , been there many times can’t wait to return 2023 , we went from lulworth to durdle door , we stopped at stair hole to do snorkelling then went on to durdle , amazing experience, we then stopped at man o war cove , we found the history of this place so interesting. 👍🏻

      It’s so rich in history and beauty. Next weeks video is about two great locations just along the coast, much less known but equally as interesting. Thank you for commenting, Safe paddling.

      Thank you Ervin, landing the drone on the paddleboard was a stress! I need an assistant on dry land.

    looks awesome.I need to do this sometime.The couple of times i have been to lulworth the conditions haven't been right to even think about it with waves of about 4ft high at the mouth meaning i was paddling round the cove.

      @@TheOptimisticAdventurer Finally did my first Lulworth to Durdle door as a solo trip early morning on my 50th birthday in August. Little too rough to go into stair hole that day but managed it on the same trip in early march with a nice group of 8 other paddlers.

      @ollie1317 sounds epic, yes Stair Hole can get very feisty in even a small swell.

    I’m really interested in starting SUPing but my bf isn’t interested in doing it with me 🥺 think I’ll have to try and find a local group.
    This looks beautiful, exactly what I’m needing. Thank you for sharing 🤍

      There are groups all over the country, what area (roughly) are you? And thank you for the comment, you are very welcome.

    Thank you for sharing. What a great video with helpful advice. As this is one of my to-do plans for this year it is perfectly timed :)
    How long does it take to paddle between Lulworth cove and Durdle Door?

    • @TheOptimisticAdventurer
      @TheOptimisticAdventurer  Год назад

      Took just under an hour each way, but I was stopping to fly the drone and land it back on the paddleboard (stressful). So 2.5 hours there and back with the cave explore. i was worried by some kayakers who said they’d heard the swell was building so i rushed it.
