What a cool trip and what a neat way to experience the BWCA...thanks for sharing!


I've never been on a paddleboard, but you're starting to get me thinking.

Great report and thanks for taking the time to share.


We saw a couple of paddleboarders on Kelso about ten years ago heading north. We say them the next day during a day trip on Zenith. Have not seen any before or since. Certainly a unique way to experience the BWCA.


Using the board as a sleeping pad is pretty brilliant, although not having a screen of any kind makes me itchy just thinking about it. Were you trying to minimize your pack size?

Interesting trip report. I always wondered how a SUP would do in wind and waves. No selfie with the Kek hikers?
