What to bring for a SUP tour

A SUP tour needs more than boards and paddles. Plan equipment for every participant, plus spare gear, waterproof storage, route information and a simple refreshment setup at the start or finish. Life jackets, ankle bands and rescue equipment should be ready before people arrive, not searched for during registration. This checklist also covers practical items such as coolers, dry bags, pumps, repair kits and tables so the tour runs smoothly on and off the water.

Tips

  • Count one SUP board, paddle, life jacket and ankle band per participant, then add spare paddles and at least one repair kit for problems on the route.
  • Give each participant a waterproof way to carry essentials: use one dry bag or waterproof phone case per person, and keep printed route maps in waterproof covers.
  • Prepare safety equipment before check-in. Place whistles and rescue lines where the group leader can reach them, and test waterproof walkie-talkies before departure.
  • Pack drinks and snacks in coolers before participants arrive. A thermos flask setup, serving platters and tongs prevent food and hot drinks from being handled on the registration table.
  • Bring a small base-camp setup for the start or finish: one tent, tables, chairs, tablecloths and rechargeable lamps if registration or packing continues after daylight.

Frequently asked questions

What equipment does each person need for a SUP tour?
Plan one SUP board, paddle, life jacket and ankle band per participant. Add waterproof storage for phones and valuables, and keep spare paddles available for the group.
How many spare paddles should I bring on a SUP tour?
Bring at least one spare paddle for a small group and two or more when the group is larger or the route is long. Keep a repair kit and hand pump with the transport equipment as well.
What safety equipment do I need for a SUP tour?
Prepare one life jacket and ankle band per participant, plus whistles, rescue lines and a way to communicate, such as waterproof walkie-talkies. Check all equipment before participants register, rather than at launch time.
What food and drink supplies are useful for a SUP tour?
Use coolers for chilled drinks and snacks, and bring enough cups, serving platters and tongs for the full group. Set up coffee machines or thermos flasks only at the start or finish, since loose hot drinks do not belong on the boards.
