Who got out for a magical sunset paddle this evening?

I’ve been out in the cairngorms, but Loch Vaa was once again stunning. And so warm. Shallow waters means the water temperature is always high on a hot day.

@BrianEwen @ClunyMorrison I guess she means by paddleboard. Maybe 45 minutes each way, but it will all depend on tide and currents. You get a bit of a push and pull along the coastline

Nice piece by Jason Topley in the @pressjournal today on SUP safety.

Recommendation 1 - get yourself a lesson with the pros.

Ahead of tomorrow’s sunrise paddle, a reminder of the extent of the navigational channel of the harbour.

Any paddling into the harbour channel may cause a shut down of the harbour, so please be careful not to go beyond the end of the harbour wall.

While the September sun still shines, there’s plenty good reasons to get out on the water.

Who recognises this little gem of a spot to paddle ? Always crystal clear waters

Well that was a great start to the day, and we couldn’t have asked for a better morning

Glass like water, perfect skies, and even dolphins in the distance

I counted 28 of us, which was great to see. Lovely to meet new faces too

Great way to start the day. Morning high tide on the Don

Took a trip down the Dee this morning from Milltimber to the fisherman’s bothy. Lovely as always, but as shallow as I have seen it in a while.

Lots of fin tickling on the rocks below, and quite a few times we had to get off and carry the boards a bit

Comes with bag, paddle, pump, fin, leash, repair kit and a handy pump attachment to use a car tyre inflater

Can’t see it online, so keep your eyes peeled in store. And you’ll need a Tesco clubcard

Popped in to Tesco for a coffee. Came out with *another* paddle board.

But at £119, it was a total bargain

Tested it out on Loch Vaa and it held up remarkably well. Tracking not as great as a heavier duty board, but it held my weight no problem and felt really stable

@RossP_ICT Sounds great. Have a brilliant day

[SUP Aberdeen @AberdeenSup]

What a day for being out on the water.

Tell us where you are planning on going?

[SUP Aberdeen @AberdeenSup]

It wouldn’t be midsummer’s day without a SUP trip to the beach. Nice to see so many faces, and I’m glad the rain stayed off most of the time.

Sadly no sunrise, but there are rumours the dolphins came out to play

Thanks to Lyle Smith at @GraniteAdvent for inviting us out to Their base at Drumoak for a lovely evening paddle. A beautiful location and great to get out on the water. Definitely recommend it for a chilled out paddle

[SUP Aberdeen @AberdeenSup]

Who has been out on the water this weekend?

@AberdeenDavid and @Odyssey_pt were at #FindhornBay taking advantage of the glorious sunshine

It’s not too late in the year to still be getting out on the board. Here’s @Smylie1985 enjoying the setting sun today
