Exploring rivers, lakes, canals, and coastal waters — one paddle at a time.
A Different Kind of Journey
While Islandeering began with islands, the water has always pulled me further — inland, upstream, across still lakes and winding rivers.
Paddleboarding Britain is about embracing that pull.
Here, I share journeys from my paddleboard — slow, quiet, reflective adventures across the UK’s rivers, lakes, canals, and coasts. Whether you’re new to SUP or have your own paddle-worn route, you’ll find inspiration, routes, and tips here.
