Understanding A White Water Eddy, With Beth Kirby / SUPboarder How To 

In this SUPboarder video, Beth Kirby helps us to understand more about an eddy and why they are so useful for White Water SUP.
An eddy is a safe area on a river where you can exit the water. They are found immediately downstream of an obstacle where the water flows back upstream. Learn about eddies and how to break in and out of them in this video.
White Water SUP combines the technical aspects of paddleboarding with the high paced, high octane nature of white water. It's normally done on inland waterways, be it man-made or natural rivers. The different types of disciplines included in white water SUP are river running, river surfing and SUPX.
Beth found White Water SUP after seeing some friends trying it 4 years ago. She comes from a white water kayaking background with many medals won in World competitions. Beth is also stacking up lots of UK wins and experience in SUPX, river surfing and river running.
• Before trying white water SUP, It's important to understand the risks, dangers and the correct type of safety equipment to wear including a quick release waist leash before heading out on white water. Get some coaching and avoid paddling alone. Beth will be bringing you more videos about the right gear, safety and top tips, so keep an eye out for these.
