I swapped my kayak for a paddle board but did I regret it?
A kayaker's first attempt at stand up paddle boarding on the Marcello Sports Tropical Fish 10'6" inflatable SUP at Ellesmere, Shropshire. Honest beginner review, first water test and plenty of falling in. Marcello Sports Tropical Fish on Amazon: This is a brand collaboration with Marcello Sports who gifted the boards. I wasn't paid — the boards were gifted and I've said exactly what I think. I've paddled kayaks for years so I assumed paddle boarding couldn't be that different. My legs disagreed fairly strongly. There's a follow-up video planned once I've had some instruction to show how much things improve, plus a separate video on the Marcello Sports pet-friendly board coming soon.
