About this book

Know someone who checks three different weather apps before 6am, then drives two hours to paddle a 'pristine alpine lake' they found on Instagram? This collection of 100 hilarious jokes perfectly captures the wonderfully obsessive world of paddleboarding enthusiasts.

From the zen warriors who post daily sunrise photos with profound quotes about 'finding balance in life' whilst literally wobbling on water, to the gear-obsessed SUPers who can tell you the exact PSI and rocker specifications of every board ever made – these jokes hit closer to home than a perfectly timed pearl.

Inside you'll find side-splitting humour about spending more time inflating boards than actually paddling, the eternal inflatable vs rigid board debates that rage in online forums, and those premium carbon fibre paddle upgrades that cost more than most people's cars. Plus jokes about bombing through choppy waters, finding that elusive sweet spot, and wearing quick-dry Patagonia gear to the local Tesco.

Whether they're building a fleet of boards for different conditions or carrying their SUP 'just in case' on trips to landlocked cities, every paddleboarder will recognise themselves in these perfectly crafted jokes.

Perfect for birthdays, Christmas, Secret Santa, or whenever you need to deflate their ego as much as their board.

Who this book is for

If you've got a mate who checks three different weather apps every morning before their coffee and has strong opinions about whether 15 PSI is better than 16 PSI for their inflatable board, this book is perfect for them. They're the type who drives two hours to paddle a new lake just to tick it off their paddle log, and somehow always manages to work 'finding balance on the water' into every conversation about life. This makes an ideal gift for anyone whose partner insists on strapping their SUP to the car roof 'just in case' - even when you're visiting your mum in Milton Keynes. If you're tired of their daily sunrise paddle photos cluttering up your Instagram feed, complete with quotes about mindfulness and inner peace, it's time for some gentle revenge through humour. Paddleboarders themselves will love this book if they can admit they've spent more time researching board rocker profiles on forums than actually on the water this month. You know you need this if you've ever genuinely used the phrase 'I got absolutely pearled out there' in casual conversation, or if your wardrobe consists entirely of quick-dry everything - including items you wear to the office. Whether you're the type who considers 'bombing' through choppy water a spiritual experience or you're shopping for someone who is, these jokes will hit the sweet spot between affectionate teasing and genuine appreciation for the wonderfully obsessive world of stand-up paddleboarding.

Questions about this book

The humour covers everything from the reality of spending more time inflating your board than actually paddling, to claiming SUP is a 'full body workout' whilst you're really just standing there admiring the view. You'll find jokes about getting pearled in front of other paddlers, discussions about board rocker that sound more technical than they are, and the eternal search for that perfect sweet spot on your board.

Absolutely perfect for any SUP enthusiast in your life, whether it's for birthdays, Christmas, or just because they've been banging on about their new board again. It's ideal for paddleboarding mates, SUP club members, or anyone who's ever tried to look graceful whilst bombing through choppy water and failed spectacularly.

Not at all - most of the humour is accessible to anyone who's ever stepped foot on a board or knows someone who has. Whilst there are some insider references to getting pearled and finding your sweet spot, the majority of jokes focus on the universal SUP experiences we all share, like that inevitable first splash into the water.

This book captures the specific culture and quirks that only paddleboarders truly understand - from the ritual of board inflation to those moments when you're bombing through rough conditions wondering why you didn't just stay on dry land. It's written by someone who clearly knows the difference between good rocker and bad technique, making it authentic paddleboarding humour rather than generic water sports jokes.
