thereās loads of them doing it in the smaller harbour between the INSS and the old fishing pier. the water in that part of the harbour is fucking rank 
One of my Reformer Pilates instructors is in a paddle board whatsapp group she was telling me. Theyād discuss tides etc
I thought to myself that if I tell her Iām on tfk and tides are not real Iāll do more harm than good so I nodded and went on my way
Lake and river would seem boring, but sea paddling might be good as with a board that big, youād catch the small waves even. I have seen the inflatable ones which look handy. Iād say it would be more fun using one with small waves at the sea. Or a lake big enough to generate some waves.

My one is inflatable. You pump it up to whatever psi so itās solid. Takes about 15 minutes to pump with manual pump.
Iāve electric one but need to figure out attachment. Iāve only gone out in sea. Itās a bit of craic and kids like it.
The bigger ones are much more forgiving. Youād stand up easily on my one.

Iāve only ever used a longboard for surfing, 10ft, and it could catch anything, was great fun, but a bit of an ordeal to transport.
The SUPs look like a good bit of fun, a good workout too, and you wouldnāt have to be cork sniffing for waves etc if thatās what you wanted to use them for.
I have an auld bodyboard these days for gowling around on, but havenāt been in the sea for a while now with waves.
