You misunderstood what they have been saying about leashes. If you are in a place where a leash could possibly catch on something, eg a river or near boat moorings & bouys, then you might find yourself in a situation where your leash is holding you under the water and you cannot reach the ankle release. I watched a video of a very experienced and fit paddler in a fast-moving river demonstrating how the current 'stretched him out' and stopped him from bending forward to reach his ankle and was also pushing him under the surface. He would have died and had to be rescued by his friends who were standing beside him for that reason. I heard another story of someone losing a friend who fell off his board and landed on the far side of a small moored boat and drowned despite being with friends. Pontoons, jetties and stanchions pose a similar risk. What they are actually suggesting is that *if* you are in such a location then you should use a quick-release waist attachment rather than ankle or thigh. Out in the open water and away from moorings etc. then an ankle leash is fine. NOBODY would suggest paddle boarding without a leash under any circumstances. PS. It might be an idea to clear the sand away from the valve before using it as just a few grains could stop your valve working.
Thanks Robin yes I heard on the radio this morning about about the waste strap as opposed to the ankle. I originally thought they were saying no leash was better. Thanks for the information I’m sure my viewers will find it very useful. Thanks for watching 😊
Went round the Mount on a paddle board last summer. Very windy so it was hard work . Landed on the Mount but got kicked off by The National Trust as you have to buy a ticket on line before you set foot on it. Still, it was a great experience going round it in crystal clear water
It's a cruel thought but when you were talking about hand pumps whilst it was inflating behind you I was secretly wanting it to explode. And @11:08, ear busting lol. Glad I wasn't wearing little ear phones 😲
Okay so St Michael's Mount is not Mont Saint-Michel 😃 Just looking at the title in the suggestions, I was saying to myself: Oh okay he's been to France too! Well perhaps you have, I haven't watched every video so far. But not this time haha. That didn't keep me from enjoying this video though, as usual.
@@LoveSundays Haha! Yeah Really Gets me every time, when I'm least Expecting it😆 Very Nice View of St Michaels Mount, I went there when I was young, don't remember much but what I can tell you is it was lashing with rain and very windy😂
Based on what I read I would avoid using the electric pump to fully inflate the board. What I understand is that it can add extra stress to the seals. Best to get to 80% then hand pump or give it a few mins before finishing
New sub , OLD PADDLE BOARDER , I totally agree with your sentiment , I would equate the leash with the seat belt , essential . Thanks for sharing your Times .
Gracing video again shaun and and it's lovely around St Michael's Mount. But no need to panic because if you did drift in penzance just give me a shout and I would have givin you a lift back 😄😄
Yes a PFD is a great item. I spend a lot of time free diving so I’m used to not using one but I always make my partner use one when she’s paddle boarding
Love your channel- great videos as always! Just out of interest what camera do you use whilst being on the water? And do you attach it on the paddle board so it doesn’t sink, if you tip over?! Thanks! 🥰
Hi Natalie, I use a GoPro Hero 7 Black when I'm out in the water. I don't have a mount for the paddle board I just tend to use a float handle. this one...... GoPro Float amzn.to/2TQSHAD If you are ever interested in what gear I use when filming or snorkelling/paddleboarding I've started to list it in the description of the videos. I'm really glad you enjoy my videos ☺️
4.56 LOL. As always nicely edited it must take so much extra time with the different angles but well worth it. I want to give paddle boarding ago but I think I would start at the local water sports lake rather than the sea.
Another amazing video form this beautiful place 👍☀️😊 I really appreciate you effort in using so much time and all these different camera angles to make the video extra enjoyable to watch. Thank you 😊
I did a SUP beginners class on the river Trent in Burton while I was furloughed, we did a loop up and down stream near the town I was the only one that didn’t fall in people went over the front of my board falling in and I still managed to stay standing, must’ve been all the years I spent skateboarding paying off, after I saw all these people falling in I really didn’t fancy a gob full of water out the river 😂
Very good Shaun as always you should have paddled out to Tom Cruise get him to subscribe. You are really showing Cornwall off as the best county in Britain. This is my favourite UA-cam channel. Absolutely love the snorkelling as you know but a bit of surfing 🏄♂️ would be good to see. Thanks as always.
@@LoveSundays always interesting and never the same thing week after week. Now looking forward to next surprise what will it be about and where will it be. All the best and keep up great work.
Thanks Nigel that means a lot mate. It is fairly hard to make them all different. Normally new places help because the story tends to be the place but when I’m going back to the same places all the time it’s more difficult to make them different
Great vid 👍🏻 Iv never been here but would love to one day…… from this Northern lass Cornwall is my souls home 💜 I have a West Country dream that I soooooo want to come true
Just move to Cornwall as long as you don’t mind terrible pay and overpriced houses 😂 sadly the average income in Cornwall is about 18k a year. It’s not easy down here but the fact that it’s Cornwall makes up for it 😊
U deserve to be more on people recommended
Aw thank you. Yes for some reason UA-cam barely recommends my videos. I don’t know why.
@@LoveSundays thanks for the pin bro
No worries 👍 I appreciated your comment 👍

Snotty tap nose with sewerage smelling water... nice haha
I can still taste the turds Terry 😆
Hahaha lovely

11:08 Rip Headphone users😆 great Video Mate, Shame you couldn't get Tom Cruise to Subscribe! That would of been Legendary!
The deflating of the paddle board makes me hump every time on the beach when someone else deflates one 😆
@@LoveSundays Haha! Yeah Really Gets me every time, when I'm least Expecting it😆 Very Nice View of St Michaels Mount, I went there when I was young, don't remember much but what I can tell you is it was lashing with rain and very windy😂
It always seems to be windy there when I go 😆

Hi Chris thanks for the advise mate. I’d hate to ruin the board as it’s Kate’s and not mine 😂
Hey Shaun, reckon it's possible to paddle board all the way to Micheal's Mount?
I think during low tide it could be very possible to paddle all the way but during high tide the currents are strong.
@@LoveSundays cheers :)
Good video mate I enjoyed that just subscribed my friend and me are gonna be SUP boarding the Mount next week.
Have you paddle boarded at the Mount before?
@@LoveSundays No, we're about to next week have you any advice?
did someone lose their car in the parking lot or were they just trying to interrupt you... lol
I think the seagulls set the alarm off 😆
@@LoveSundays haha. Bullseye!
Hello from Pittsburgh, Pa, USA
hello i saw u and h showed us the crab
Hello mate. Thanks for subscribing 👍
Just stumbled across your channel. Love the vids, takes me back to being down there! Binge watching them all🙌🏼
Thanks Charlie that’s nice for you to say. Glad you like my videos 👍
@@LoveSundays No worries mate! Keep up the good work, I look forward to your future ones too 👍🏼
Cheers mate 👍
Love your videos Shaun. Keep doing them please!

Thank Jon 👍 you see this is why I love UA-cam 😆 so many nice blokes willing to help a damsel in distress 😂
Great video. I agree with your view about leashes but I’d be wearing a PFD too. Looks an amazing place to paddle.
Yes a PFD is a great item. I spend a lot of time free diving so I’m used to not using one but I always make my partner use one when she’s paddle boarding

Thank you yes it takes a little while. It would probably safer trying it at your local water sports lake to be fair just until you get used to it.
I was paddleboarding there as well but waves were so strong I didn't make it to island 🙈
The currents get pretty strong there.
Another amazing video form this beautiful place 👍☀️😊 I really appreciate you effort in using so much time and all these different camera angles to make the video extra enjoyable to watch. Thank you 😊
Thank you Torunn. I’m really glad you appreciated the effort that goes into making these videos 😊
Yeah I got myself a electric pump for my paddle board as well ,, Those dam hand pumps never seem to last long with me.
So much better aren’t they. Especially when it’s boiling out.! Pumping it up by hand is fine it’s just getting to the correct PSI that kills me 😆
Hi there. Another really great vid - loved the editing. Hoping to get down there very soon! TFS
Thank you glad you enjoyed the video. I’m sure you’ll be down sooner than you think 😊
Great video mate yes its great to see the seagulls do what they are supposed to do do instead of chasing a Greggs bag about a high street.
We don’t have Greggs in Cornwall 😞. Probably for the best though as I’d be 10 stone heavier I love a Greggs sausage roll 😆
Brilliant video mate my t shirt came on Monday thank you again be safe 🤟🌊👍🏻
You’re welcome mate 👍

Amazing video once again, Shaun :) So relaxing and therapeutic. Massive 'L.O.L.' to Jackson Pollock Rock :D XX
Thanks Hattie glad you enjoyed the video. From now on the rock will be forever Jackson Pollock Rock 😆
