Stand Up Paddle Boards (SUPs)

Most park patrons think stand up paddle boarding is a new water sport, but it’s actually an ancient form of surfing with and Hawaiian heritage. Beginners can become comfortable in the first hour. Using a long paddle and standing up you can just cruise along. It can be a meditative experience on a calm day. Both Paddle Boards and Kayaks can provide a good upper-body workout as well as cardiovascular conditioning.

First timers will enjoy the challenge of balance. The built-in deck grip provides maximum traction. The benefit of a good workout is an unexpected bonus. It is faster and easier to learn than it looks. Join in on the fun of this new growing sport.

Come down and try it — it’s really easy and fun!
