Paddle Boarding Preparation and Tricks
Be prepared
When you are going to spend the day kayaking, canoeing, or paddleboarding in Napa, it is best to come prepared so you can get the most out of your day. Some things to bring are:
The Proper Clothing
-
- Wearing something comfortable that will wick away sweat and water from your skin is ideal. Bathing suits, workout wear, and biking outfits are good choices, and you will also want to wear water shoes to keep your feet comfortable.
-
- Waterproof phone case It is best not to take your phone at all, but that is not realistic. A waterproof case will help to keep your phone from water damage. It would be helpful if you had somewhere safe to hold your phone, like a zip-up pocket. It is not likely to float if it should fall in the water.
Bring A Lot Of Water
While enjoyable, water sports like kayaking, canoeing, and paddleboarding can be tiring and have you breaking a sweat. Ensuring you have enough water to stay hydrated is a must.
Sunscreen
You will be out on the river for a while; you do not want to take home a nasty burn. It would be best to reapply during your venture on the river.
Hat and sunglasses
Additional protection from the sun is a good idea, and the sunglasses will also help reduce the glare and shimmer from the water.
Napa Valley is the perfect place to paddleboard, especially in the summer when the weather is warm and inviting. If you want to try a different kind of adventure, make sure to visit during the winter months so you can still enjoy some time on the water!
