We have Atoll inflatable SUPs too and they sell a kayak kit (a backrest that attaches and a kayak paddle attachment)
I agree that they’re not great if it’s windy.
You might want a wetsuit if you’re going to use a SUP in the non summer months.

I agree with you and those scenarios are probably more common, but it seems like it would be incredibly hard to quantify that, so it’s susceptible to cognitive biases.

I’m not sure I’d agree that 1 is not ok in most instances. It’s okay if you’re comparing values against a reference, particularly if you’re trying to show outliers.
Take, for example, 100 meter dash times. There’s a huge difference between 10.0 and 9.9 seconds (a body length). …and if you’re trying to compare Usain Bolt’s record against the other fastest times, you would need to truncate the axis to see that his fastest stands out against the next 9 fastest runners which are clustered together.
There just one example but there’s plenty of others.

Cranmore is a good suggestion and Conway’s not a bad place to spend a weekend

All twin-engines need to be able to fly on a single engine regardless of ETOPS status.
