Long distance adventure touring
deepmud:
I found very few online accounts of even day long adventure type trips. I think this is in part due to sups not being the best long distances boat. I hope to put the few I find in this thread.
Nick Healey paddling in Prince William Sound Alaska

Interesting he is paddling thru icy basin shorts. Also his first inflatable board repair is a serious one. Makes me think about what I would do before a trip like his.... Deliberately puncture and repair? Scary.

Raw Oregon: A SUP Adventure
This kind of cove poking and beach camping looks like fun.
There are four parts.
Next I need to find the story of a race down the Yukon I saw once and didn't bookmark...

Hi deepmud,
I think expedition and day trip adventure sup paddling is a lot more common than you realize. You will find dozens of camping expeditions and full day trips right here on the zone, and many more from other cites and blog spots.

Maybe I am using the wrong search terms. I have enjoyed a few on this forum to be sure. It just seems rather surf and downwind heavy. Nothing wrong with that, I am just looking for more of what I have around here. I will read your links! Thanks!
Another vid.....Mississippi from the source to the sea! He started in a little more than a ditch!
Off-Shore:
This team did 9 days on the River Severn in the UK - source to sea in 2013. I think they had a support vehicle though.
