This week’s discussion point from me is about paddle places recommendations. We’ve all got our favourite paddle spots but where have you paddled based on recommendations or suggestions from others that you might otherwise not have been to or known about? Have these recommendations proved to be fantastic hidden gems? A once in a lifetime paddle? Or perhaps a never to be repeated experience?

Where’s your favourite hidden gem blue space that’s been recommended to you and why? What makes this space so great for you?

Has a blue space recommendation ever proved to be fruitless? What made it so bad and what did you do instead?

Has a recommended or suggested blue space ever brought you to tears or perhaps had you laughing and smiling with glee? What deep-hitting, emotive memories can you share with us about one of these places?
