We used to have a rio back in the 80s, was a decent enough little boat.

Try Two Bare Feet.......much better value i think. Circa 265 to 300 should be what it costs for a decent board that does the trick.I've now looked RED up. 900-1100 of my english squids for a blow up. Holey moley. I know she's paying but really.
I'll blag a matching dark grey and white one off ebay.

I bought a travel-sized inflatable from Aquaplanet - Small enough to count as carry-on baggage with most airlines and comfortably south of £300!

You never see fenders on a superyacht except when parked. Anything smaller than a superyacht has nowhere to store fenders. But even if you did, after a short time you would still leave them out. Without a crew to get them out of storage and deploy them it gets to be a lot easier to leave them where you need them

Well of course that's exactly what we are doing. The contrast in cockpit stowage between this boat and the previous (similar size) yacht is striking.

My 8m boat has plenty of space to store fenders, probably more than a dozen if so desired!

Fender stowage wasn't something we thought much about when we picked it. In the land of compromises, a happy wife is king. Or something like that.

A lot of SUP suppliers seem to be out of stock or waiting on stock. Very little available for immediate delivery at the moment. SUPing seems to be the big craze during Lockdown

Certainly is, judging by the fleets of the things at Bursledon, most keep out of the channel but there are always a few numpties / brave souls.

Loads like myself got the porkies going strong during lockdown. The concept of exercise ranks alongside that of self flagellation imo. So trying something that looks like it may be fun with a side affect of exercise is appealing.

look at supstore in poole and bournemouth they are on line .The bathing ladder. That was not on any list in my possessionalthough it's fair to say I probably won't be using itunless I fall in. Mrs S has developed an unhealthy interest in paddleboarding so it may well get some use, but that gives me two new problems:
1. How to buy the right one
2. Where to stow it. Even deflated it's bigger than a fender.

Wait until the Jolly opens this weekend. Ooh look at all those fenders they have around the pontoon

And after a week or many I now know the tabs are wired "wrong", ie not as per the manual. L button operates P tab not S, and vice versa.

Those are awesome. No wonder raggy boats dread them. When you look back at that you feel like Moses parting the Red Sea.can’t do this on a saily boat
