No matter how old you are it’s time to join the trend that is sweeping the country that is known as paddle boarding. SUP, as the sport is called by those who know about such things, is an acronym for stand-up paddle boarding. It is just what it says it is; you stand up and balance on a wide foam filled board that’s longer and wider than a surf board, and propel yourself forward with a long paddle. It sounds simple, and it is. It’s easy, safe, environmentally correct, and a wonderful low impact exercise. But most importantly it’s fun with a capital F! With just a minimum amount of instruction you’ll quickly master the simple technique, and be ready to explore the endless lakes, rivers and waterways in the area. For a change of pace, and some enjoyable family fun seek out one of the paddle board rental companies close by, and give it a try.
