One of the questions I get asked the most is, "What type of clothing system do you wear in spring and fall for standup paddleboarding?" I have put this youtube video together to go over a clothing system that you can use when the probability of going in the water is low. If you thought the probability of going in the water was high then you could go with a wetsuit or farmer john/jayne. If your in a colder climate a good drysuit could be the best option. This system presented here assumes you are carrying extra clothes/rewarming kit in your drybag and essentials kit. Here is another blog I wrote on my favourite clothing system for paddling which will also get explained in this video.

Over the course of 10 nights, we’ll navigate the heart of the Maldives aboard the splendid MV Adora, chasing the swell, wind, and conditions wherever they may lead us. As I look back on my previous trips, a few key insights from these surf excursions truly stand out.
