New Stand Up Paddle Boarding (SUP) Category

Posted by on June 5, 2013

This may seem slightly ironic to those readers who recall my comments about Stand Up Paddle Boarding in my post entitled “Five Predictions for Paddle Sport in 2013.”  I believe that I referred to SUP in the Northeast as a “passing fad” that would “fade like yoyos and pogs did in the 90s.” Ouch…

I’ve given SUP a closer look this spring and I’ll be the first to admit that my predictions may have been a little too bold. It seems that SUP is alive this season and is here to stay in New England (at least for now). This inspired us to add a few more boards to the rental fleet and I’ve since been tasked to develop a SUP instructional program down at the shop. More than a few teachers have reminded me that the best way to reinforce new learning is to teach it to others. This is the goal of this new SUP category and I hope that you enjoy the ride as I expand my paddling horizons this summer!

Happy Paddling!
