SUP in October: Why This Month is Made for Paddling

October might just be the best month to get on the water. The long summer days have faded, but paddling season is far from over—in fact, it’s arguably at its best.

Here’s why I love October paddling:

• Weather: The air is crisp and comfortable, without the heavy heat of midsummer.

• Water temps: Still warm enough for easy paddling and even a quick swim if you’re up for it.

• Less crowded: The busy summer season slows down, which means quieter waterways and more space to explore.

• Seasonal transition: Life moves at a different pace this time of year—slower for some, with local businesses and groups ready to shift into a more intentional rhythm.

All of this makes October perfect for gathering with others, whether it’s for fun, adventure, or team building.
