If Mr Stabby were to take up paddleboarding ....... I would say yes (if there are any bridges)
However in general .............. I would think no
(if a case of dangerous to themselves ..... you obviously don't get the wild swimmers towing that silly little buoy behind them at your moorings)

.............................. all you're doing is paddling up and down, repetitively. what? - a bit like the majority of folk with a mooring - visit the boat on a Sunday afternoon and drive 5 miles, then wind and drive back.

More likely to the local beauty spot/pub then moan because they don’t get the best mooring spot.

Not really. Navigating a boat can be fun, in many ways. While paddleboarding regularly would be good exercise, especially for the core, doing it on flat water with the intention of having fun will leave the participant disappointed, to say the least.

..... you obviously don't get the wild swimmers towing that silly little buoy behind them ............. navigating the last few miles up the Thames to St John's, trying to thread a way around tight blind bends, and past fallen willows, anglers with silly poles that allow them to fish from the opposite bank, and reckless weekend boaters, I am always heartened to see those coloured balloons - the worry is how many swimmers might be in the way and have not identified themselves at all.

There are paddle boarders aplenty ..dunno the collective noun for them around our coast.. There has been issues with the go faster zippy things that people hire causing big waves.. There has also been issues with folks taking them out in weather that's a bit rough I thought about having a go but the more I see them, the less they appeal. Still if that's what folks want to do, up to them

I’m just trying to start threads that isn’t Dunkley’s nonsense. I’d everyone did it then his shit would be in the minority.

I'm pretty much live and let live but when we approached the tunnel at the top of the Ashby (snarestone/Shcakerstone? I can't remember and my book is in the other cabin), 2 were waiting for us to get close enough to then race ahead of us through the tunnel using our lights... bit tricky to make them out as we crawled through behind them and I didn't feel easy about it - I might have berated them a little when they pulled over to the side on exit to point out how dangerourous for THEM it was having 16 tonnes of boat unable to see them if they fell in.
