6 miles out at La Jolla is the farthest from shore. Unlike most I think trolling is fun and don't mind the ride on my PA. Hopefully I will get time to made it to the Nine mile bank this summer

Average trip is about 17 miles....the most was 24........and I felt that one for at least a few days. If you are covering ground and on the hunt.....15+ miles add up very quick. All done in the PA. I know of someone on this board who will blow this number away....most likely a few times a week.

Longest day was about 14 miles total, tried to find a wreck off the coast on North Carolina, never found the wreck, but we did manage to catch some big king mackerel while trolling! My shoulders hurt for a week.

This summer I am planning a SUP trip from LJ Shores to Mission Bay. Will probably be about 11 miles, eventually I'll build up to the trip my friends have done from Solana Beach to Mission Bay that's about 24 miles.

I don't have any sort of GPS to give exact distances but I've made some long paddles from Oceanside harbor north to the LCAC base and on to the clam beds. Some times conditions trump distance. The outer banks of north Carolina are a windy place. I doubt many of you know the waters of Roanoke sound. But I had my wife drop me off about 1/2 way up east side of Roanoke island and with the wind at my back set out to paddle south to my house. Maybe 10 minutes in to the paddle the wind did a 180, increased in speed, and the temp dropped 20 degrees. Didn't feel in danger cause I could have gone in to the marsh and beached on a mud bank but it was getting dark so I fought the wind on home. Don't know the distance but with out a doubt the toughest coldest paddle I have ever made. Mike

I once did a trip in the PA14 where I went seven miles across boston harbor and seven miles back. We against the wind and tide on the way out when we started to head back the wind switched direction as did the tide the last two miles were absolutely brutal as the tide really got cranking. Tides in boston range from 8-11 ft and the currents can be really fast in some spots. Not sure what the total distance was with going around some of the islands and repeating a few drifts.
