FAQ
Stand Up Paddle Boarding (or SUP) is performed on a 9-11 ft surfboard that has a wide and stable top that was made to stand on. Using a one-bladed paddle you stand with your feet parallel and paddle on both sides of the board using your core muscles to stablize your body on a moving surface (water). SUP provides a full body workout for everyone regardless of your fitness level. It is an all encompassing mind/body experience as you connect with nature in a serene atmosphere.
SUP is whatever you make it. A relaxing scenic stroll, a challenging concentrated effort as in a fitness class, or an outright race to the finish. Whatever you choose to do, we will make it happen for you!

We recommend wearing a swim suit or board shorts with a top. You likely will not end up in the water at all, so once you start paddling around in the sun, you’ll likely get warm.
Footwear: Most people paddle barefoot and are fine. A pair of aquasox or water shoes can be used.
