SUP! Stand Up Paddleboarding. What's it all about?

Maybe you've been wondering too. You're out on the water in your canoe or kayak, and you see someone go by on a Stand Up Paddleboard.

As summer rolls on, you see more and more of these strange, happy, and peaceful creatures heading out on the water and you think, "Gee. That looks so weird! How can that be? I've got to try it too!"

So, I did.

Paddleboarding can be very social. "Hey, look! A full moon rising!"

It's great for groups. You can take over the lake.

It's easy to find a serene moment for yourself.

And luckily Paddle Boards come in different sizes. The one I'm sitting on is pretty wide. I could bring the dog and a cooler along on this one!

I'm not quite sure what I think about Stand Up Paddleboarding.

I kinda like it. Even when I'm standing up.

I'll be exploring it more.

And striking a few yoga poses on the board too. It's pretty cool.

But, unlike most, I'll be doing it wearing a PFD (life jacket) even though I'm a good swimmer and have good balance. No matter what you paddle, paddle safe.

Happy paddles!
