beth Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 I have just spent 3 months in Ajijic and have seen the occasional SUP boarder on the lake. I have not managed to track down anyone who is interested in paddle boarding, or who knows of a convenient place to store or launch a board here, let alone rent boards. If there is anyone who is either already SUP -ing or is interested in SUP -ing please reply to this post. If there is any interest I would bring my board with me next year.

SteveH2532 Posted March 25, 2017 Report Share Posted March 25, 2017 Beth, The lake is fantastic to paddle board on, and we do it a lot. We bought paddle boards 2 years ago in Guad and keep them outside when we are in residence and store them in the house when away, The place we put in is at the end of Revolucion, since we live in Lower la Floresta. It is easy to park and walk to the shore and we have discovered that the mornings are the best time because the wind tends to pick up in the evening.

Hud Posted March 3, 2019 Report Share Posted March 3, 2019 My take is that there is lack of interest for this activity for the same reason there is lack of interest by extranjeros for swimming in the lake. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiny Posted March 3, 2019 Report Share Posted March 3, 2019 If I am going to do all that work paddling I am at least going to sit down. 😜 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mainecoons Posted March 3, 2019 Report Share Posted March 3, 2019 There would probably be more interest if these boards had motors. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well with the inception of the kayak club some six or seven years ago we haven't lost anyone yet. We regularly have safety classes in which it is required that you fall out of your kayak and either get back in by yourself or with the help of others.

Do you practice not getting water in your nose, eyes, or mouth? Many people get typhoid or hepatitis A with no ill effects. Others skydive and always safely land. I'll pass on letting the lake water enter my orifices. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Posted March 4, 2019 Report Share Posted March 4, 2019 Absolutely! Never pee or fart in the water. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
