I'm glad to see you back in a kayak! I was starting to think you were going to abandon what made the adventures fun in the first place! Anyone can buy a motor boat, but what fun is that? It takes away the exercise and excitement of getting there IMHO!!!
It was good to try one again, but.... I still enjoy SUp better. I think the SUP and kayak are extremely similar in making adventures enjoyable. I don't see how sitting down vs standing changes m,uch lol Kinda true... But not everyone does the big trips I do on a motorboat.
I love both Kayaking and Paddle boarding, preferably kayaking but I suppose each have different environments to which their best suited! Really gutted to see you’ve lost that love for kayaking you use to have, after all, that is how I found your channel. Nevertheless, forever grateful for the opportunity to watch your adventures!
I haven't lost the love for getting out there and cruising down the river.... Just changethe vessel from sitting to standing lol Still extremely similar. Thanks for watching and yes sir I do ;) Should be info about international shipping on the site .
Awesome Gilbert! Well, there will be a kayak video here and there but not every time lol BUt the paddle board to me is still very similar. Glad you enjoyed it!
My first outdoor adventure, three years ago,,,right there! Low water levels, tons of down trees,,,. Dropped my phone in the water, howling packs of dogs,,,It was a complete nightmare and I loved every second of it!
Great trip brother! Blackwater River is one of my favorites, maybe because it's just up the road from home lol. Be glad you didn't put in at Kennedy bridge, there was a big log jam we came up to back in June between it and Peaden Bridge that you'd have to take the kayak through the woods to get around.
That was awesome camp spot, good trees to hang hammock and gear holder, lots of sand on bank to walk around play and workout, that’s good idea to still get a workout in. That was the perfect spot. 💪🏻😎
Glad to see your near my home! Can’t wait to be back with my paddle board! I’m OUT THERE in Hawaii for a few more months. Many adventures here as well!
Idk how I found your videos Tripp but I can't watch them enough during covid 2020! Thanks for all the wonderful content. My fiance and daughter now watch them together. I can't wait for a new adventure!
Trip, I live in south AL and just want to say thank you for getting me and my boys interested in doing some kayaking camping adventures this summer. We are planning on hitting the Escatawpa, Styx, and Blackwater. Trip dip!!!
Awesome video. Floated down that river so many times saying I live in blackwater lol. Wilderness park is a beautiful place I sometimes launch from their from Norman Reilly. 🌲🛶🥾
Great video Trip! It’s awesome how you implement fitness with being outdoors. I would definitely watch the same video but with a paddle board to see your thoughts on what’s better. Always looking forward to new videos!
Well I appreciate that Tucker! Yea, it was fun to try to get in a little workout. Man, the ISUP is lighter, faster and simpler which just make the whole experience more enjoyable to me.
Oh nice! I believe my next trip will be taking me from Alabama all the way to destin ;) I'm looking for some local knowledge.... If you have time, do you mind hitting me up? - tripsmith.live/contact-me/ (love sturgil simpson BTW)
I just picked up on you about 4 days ago. You enjoy kayaking for the same reason I do. I really have enjoyed your videos so far. If you get up to north Georgia or want to plan a trip, I have several good ones with over night camping spots.
Depends.... I like the ISUP more than any of them by a mile. You can even put coolers or chairs on them to sit like yak ;) Most people, the SOT is probably better.
Lol!! I was like he is having blast😂😂😂😂 oops where are the power lines? Wrong route😨 "oh well its adventure" 😂😂😂 I agree paddle boarding is much nicer on the shoulders and back! My boyfriend and I went "Clear Kayaking" it was OK, I prefer SUP!
We are leaving this Friday to camp at Bear Lake with our 6 and 10yr olds. We spend a lot of time in N. FL paddling and swimming but this is our first time going to the Blackwater River. We live closest to the Alapaha and though it can be very shallow and clear at times, it also moves very fast! How do you think they'd fair swimming in this river? And is there any other beautiful creeks, rivers to check out around that area?
Oh cool! I think they would do just fine swimming when the river is at these levels like it was in the video. No worries. There are some other springs a bit to the east. Econfina, Morrison Spring are both good. Look them up ;)
LOL.....Trip Dip!!!!...I can tell you're rusty in the yak....2:27 you've got your paddle upside down!!! Clear evidence that you need to make more kayak videos!!!!
Trip Dip!!!!!! Ummmmm, not sure how often the kayak will come back out lol The ISUP is just so much easier and more enjoyable to me..... Still the same crazy adventures though!
I have a kayak and I have seen you use your board I'm thinking. I would love to have a board to stand up and paddle ,,and I have seen you use and enjoy it yep there really nice ,,,thanks Trip love the Trip dip
Trip Smith I was talked into the fishing yak and you can't really stand on mine but I have seen you on the boards and how much easier The board is all the way around so thanks so much for all you teach us we are great full and I love the fun you have keeps a smile on me from start to end ,,, and love the Trip dips gonna try a few my self ,,have a awesome time on your trips and keep them coming ,,,
Most of the paddling section of Blackwater is inside the State Forest. Riparian law also says navigable waterways and the shore banks (up to "average" high tide) is public area.
Sorry I missed your comment a while back! Did ya find what you needed? I try to say it in the video somewhere usually.... May not have. I don't recall honestly....
Did the blackwater river twice in last month. One night camping, started at Kennedy Bridge and was planning on State Park but stopped at Bryant Bridge. No phone service for two days. Where did you get in and out at?
Hey Allyson! Well.... Can I go ahead and tell you what I think? They both are pretty similar in the reasons why I switched from the Kahuna to a ISUP. Heavy, slow, bad tracking and just more difficult to use all around versus an ISUP. Try one! You will not be disappointed!
When you go on these "solo" trips like this one, how do you get back to your truck at the put in point?? Especially on those trips that are 50+ miles from home.
Different ways. This one I was able to get a shuttle from blackwater Joe's. Sometimes I've even taken a bicycle and I ride it back to my vehicle. You just have to be creative sometimes
A 6 foot dog leash is so paramount to drags in shallow water.......I use one and have a 10 foot on the tail to float downstream of I walk a good fishing stretch
Looked like a great trip on the Blackwater! Do you remember which days you went? I need to check the historical river height/discharge for that day; it's not too common for the water to be that low in Summer!
@@TripSmith The measurements at Cotton Bridge during your trip were a discharge of 96 ft3/s with a 1.3ft height. The 60 year summer mean between Labor Day and Memorial Day is about 282 ft3/s discharge and a 3.1ft height. The 60 year summer median between Labor Day and Memorial Day is about 152 ft3/s discharge and a 2.89ft height. I'd say you got pretty lucky catching the river at a good time!
Question on the columbia shorts..... do they have a swimming liner or are they best worn with boxer briefs for quick drying? They look like a quick drying pair of shorts for in and out of the water all day. Thanks
Hey Trip. Do you ever have concern of amoebas in the warmer southern fresh water? Love the channel man. My son and I are planning a couple of your destinations for next summer!
I get friends and family to help me when there isn't a shuttle available. This trip, I use Blackwater Joe's as a shuttle service ;) Ummmm Look up my planning videos, I have a handful - ua-cam.com/video/dDjWtzCatDc/v-deo.html
wow, a paddle board? i just went on a paddle board for the first time a month ago and never again. my back ground is, long board surfing, body boarding, kayaking, canoes, row boats, jet skis, motor boats, etc if you lay down on a paddle board and use it like a surfboard, then you can get some speed up and control, other than that. it is just floating and you stand on it. well you can do that in a kayak and sit down and get speed/control. i did not try a two sided paddle so maybe that would of helped if i sat down and tried. if you want the challenge which a paddle board provides then hell yay get one. if not looking for a challenge and the easy/more control then do not get one
Well, I've done many trip on paddleboards and I find them much more suitable for me personally. I'm able to keep it much straighter than most kayaks. I was using a single bladed paddle.
@@TripSmith i just posted it, so new people did not think a paddle boarding is easier to control over a kayak. i have not met a new person to water sports who did not find the kayak so much easier. did not want anyone to wast their money and made sure they had another opinion. thx for leaving my post up. i appreciate you and your show
LKN CATFISH, I know this was 2 years ago, but it's worth mentioning to try different SUPs before committing to one. I rented some hardboards for a couple summers, had great times. Then I bought a Bodyglove inflatable from Costco, took it out and couldn't stand on it! Went to the paddle shop on that same pond and they had several to test right there, and immediately found a Badfisher inflatable that was super stable, comfortable, and joy of joys, was set up for fishing and touring! I can even strap a bucket to it and make it a sit-on-top. I've now done camping trips, fishing trips, river trips, and even taken my young niece out for paddles, and my SUP has been phenomenal! So try a few. Hull shapes, widths, lengths, thicknesses...they all affect your SUP experience. But it's hard to know which combination you prefer until you ride them. My wife still loves her Costco Bodyglove. Everybody's different.
I think that one is my Seabird ;) I have a few hats from the IMperial Headwear Watership Collection - www.imperialsports.com/product/wssea-seabird-sport-sun-protection-hat/
@@TripSmith what is your favorite spot in Florida? I live in Lakeland and can hit any place in Florida with the right planning. This will be my first trip and it will be a solo trip. I only have an inflatable kayak so I need somewhere that has little to no debris/rocks and easy to no waves.
I was waiting for that branch to break why u doing pull ups. The limb was strong. It was exhausting watching u exercise lol ....yeah i kayak a few days ago in pain as the seat was so uncomfortable and it was hard to paddle being in pain.
The paddleboarding community appreciates your conversion and support! 😂🤣😂
Haha! Happy to do it ;0

Trip Smith lol, can’t fault you! Without a doubt, best exploration/adventure content on UA-cam!
Brilliant news, I’ll be sure to check it out!
This is the river we do most of our trips on. Love it.
Great river for sure!
This is the stuff that I love watching! This is what hot me into kayaking!
Awesome Gilbert! Well, there will be a kayak video here and there but not every time lol BUt the paddle board to me is still very similar. Glad you enjoyed it!
Great to see kayak adventures again. Missed them alot!
Yes sir! It was "an experience" to get on a yak again lol
@@TripSmith That's why I subbed seems like forever now was the kayak trips when it was sailing and such.
Where exactly is the bridge you wanted to put in located? And where’d you take out at? Always excited to see a video of yours. Thanks
@@TripSmith how do you get back to your vehicle after a solo trip?
Back to the basics!!!!!, great to see!!!!! Always so fun to watch these videos!!!!! Your viewers will love this
Yea man for sure! Thanks bud!
Always an unforgetable adventure when we ride along with Trip! Great kayak adventure Trip!
That's the truth!!!! Thanks Jason, glad you enjoyed it!
That took me a bit to figure out which version of “Long Haired Country Boy”. The best version IMO. Thanks! 🤠
Oh yea for sure. Travis Tritt has some serious skills 🤙🤙🤙🤙
My first outdoor adventure, three years ago,,,right there! Low water levels, tons of down trees,,,. Dropped my phone in the water, howling packs of dogs,,,It was a complete nightmare and I loved every second of it!
Sounds like a great adventure Jason!
Finally, back on a kayak!!!!!
For a video at least ;)
I floated this river with some dear military friends 20 years ago. Thanks for floating it..
Oh awesome John! You're welcome!
Great trip brother! Blackwater River is one of my favorites, maybe because it's just up the road from home lol.

Thankya rider! Wow, yea glad I didn't have to go through that joker!
just realized you have allot of awesome river videos, man i love florida its such a paradise
Glad you found the good stuff ;) Yea, Florida is a great....
Love the kayak trip, missed them so much!
Haha glad you enjoyed it! (more than I did lol)
Always make me laugh, being able to laugh at yourself make these videos great. Your playlist is pretty eclectic and enjoyable.
Glad you enjoyed it! Yea, I can't help but laugh at myself lol Love my music ;)
That was awesome camp spot, good trees to hang hammock and gear holder, lots of sand on bank to walk around play and workout, that’s good idea to still get a workout in. That was the perfect spot.
💪🏻😎
It really was a great spot!
Glad to see your near my home! Can’t wait to be back with my paddle board! I’m OUT THERE in Hawaii for a few more months. Many adventures here as well!
Oh cool! Hope your time passes quick ;)

Hey not worries Titan! Hope you enjoy the last bit, that's some of my favorite parts ;)
Like the kayak. Healthy storage compartment.
Oh yea, nice storage for sure!
I don't know if you have one but the best thing I have found for bugs is the thermacell. I didn't believe it worked but was amazed after trying it.
I have two actually.... Just have never carried them with me lol I'll have to try them......
Hahaha I like how you filtered out hank jr. gonna start using that when I play that song

Thank you so much for the awesome videos :) God Bless you man!

almost forgot how shallow Blackwater can be. I might have to paddle it again by the end of summer. great video
Oh yea, I enjoy paddling when rivers are low ;)
You’re on my stompin ground...usually yak that river once a month.

Thanks David!
Rock on with it Trip......loving all ya vids.......trying to decide on a SUP or a Kayak.
Thanks Bill! Try both then make a decision ;) Rent or borrow.
Another nice video, tidy WOD there lol
Thankya sir! lol
Which do you like better? The kayak you sit down into or the one where you sit on top?
Depends.... I like the ISUP more than any of them by a mile. You can even put coolers or chairs on them to sit like yak ;) Most people, the SOT is probably better.
Awesome adventure. Had me laughing🤙🏽💯 Be safe.
Thankya and glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome stuff again mate. Been wondering where you had got to 👍
Thanks Tim! Lots of over time kept me away last month....
best cobra tourer review ever

How do you confirm where it's ok to camp along a river? Forgiveness instead of permission? Love the river adventures!
Most of the paddling section of Blackwater is inside the State Forest. Riparian law also says navigable waterways and the shore banks (up to "average" high tide) is public area.
Depends on the river. Most of the time ask for forgiveness ;) BUt the Blackwater is mostly public land.

Maybe you could share your music play list with us. Lol. Thanks fir sharing. Love it. God bless sir.
That might be fun! God Bless!!! Glad you enjoyed it!
Look into a Diablo kayak they are a cross between a kayak and a paddle board. Great in shallow waterways.
I've seen them in the past. They are pretty unique but I really enjoy the SUP overall. Especially an inflatable.
Did the blackwater river twice in last month. One night camping, started at Kennedy Bridge and was planning on State Park but stopped at Bryant Bridge. No phone service for two days.
Where did you get in and out at?
Nice! I can't recall exactly.... I think I mentioned it in the video at some point. Well I definitely ended at Blackwater Joes
Trip dippppppppppp!!!
Yea buddy! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Would like to see you do an on the water review of the Vibe Maverick 120 paddle board.....versus your Kaku Kahuna from back in the day. Thanks,
Hey Allyson! Well.... Can I go ahead and tell you what I think? They both are pretty similar in the reasons why I switched from the Kahuna to a ISUP. Heavy, slow, bad tracking and just more difficult to use all around versus an ISUP. Try one! You will not be disappointed!
What I'd like to know, where did this guy get his watch from, I'd love to buy 1 guys
When you go on these "solo" trips like this one, how do you get back to your truck at the put in point?? Especially on those trips that are 50+ miles from home.
Different ways. This one I was able to get a shuttle from blackwater Joe's. Sometimes I've even taken a bicycle and I ride it back to my vehicle. You just have to be creative sometimes
Is black water joes like peace river canoe outpost do they take you up river and drop you off to canoe back to where u parked?
They take you up river and you end at your car ;)
A 6 foot dog leash is so paramount to drags in shallow water.......I use one and have a 10 foot on the tail to float downstream of I walk a good fishing stretch
