Standup Paddleboarding on the river Thames in London England

Stand up paddle boarders stand on boards that are floating on the water, and use a paddle to propel themselves through the water. In the UK No regulations require the use of a personal flotation device PFD while using a SUP board in the surf. In flat water environments localized regulations may require the use of a PFD such as on lakes, rivers and inland waterways. In a teaching environment SUP schools and clubs individual risk assessments may require the use of PFDs for less confident stand up paddle boarders. The use of a leash is always recommended in all paddling environments and is a key piece of safety equipment.
