Weather for SUP
One of the biggest issues, weatherwise, for SUP is WIND. We monitor the wind very carefully for your safety, and to ensure you have a nice SUP experience. If it is blowing more than 10 mph, you simply cannot paddle against it, (unless you are an expert). We really do not want you to end up in Mexico. You can check out the wind conditions under my “links” tab.
Wetsuits?
You do not need a wetsuit. Wetsuits are meant to be used to keep your core warm when you are submerged in cold water for extended periods of time. With SUP, you will be ON TOP of the water, and simply way too hot in a wetsuit. If you do fall off, the water isn’t that cold, and you climb back on the board. The sun is hot and dries you quickly
