Stand Up Paddle Boarding is the hottest new craze taking over water sports. Its ease of learning and great core workout attracts water enthusiasts of all types. SUP is part paddling, part balancing, part surfing. On flat inland water, you can cruise and glide while touring the local sites. On small swells, you can easily paddle into and ride the waves.

"You can even take your SUP board and put a windsurf sail on it - a multi-sport blast!"
Rebecca, instructor
