Ever wish you knew how
to surf, but you never wanted to struggle in the waves
learning how to stand up on the surfboard? Stand Up
Paddleboarding may be your answer to having a fun time
while surfing.
Stand Up
Paddleboarding, or SUP for short, is a sport where you stand
on an oversized surfboard with a paddle and cruise flat
water in style. The boards which usually exceed 11 feet in
length provide a lot of float and allow anyone with a little
bit of balance to get right up.
Most people
learn to stand up
paddleboard
in the Laguna Madre Bay, because the calm shallow water
makes it easier. Lessons cover balancing on the board,
paddling techniques, foot placement, turning and more. Once
you’ve got the basics, you are free to paddle around the bay
for hours, getting a unique view from higher above the water
than you get achieve from a kayak.
For those who
already know they can do it, there are several places to
rent stand up
paddleboards
on South Padre Island. You can choose to rent SUPs on the
bay side of the island, or in the Gulf of Mexico, which
requires additional balance to deal with paddling in the
waves. Some more advanced paddleboarders can even catch and
ride the waves!
Stop by South
Padre Island to learn how to, or rent SUPs, as it is a
fantastic island location to do the activity. Check out Air
Padre Kiteboarding for more SUP information, and remember to
check the live conditions on the local South Padre Live
Cameras
before you head out for your next stand up paddleboarding
session!
