Stand-Up Paddleboards
What are Stand-up Paddleboards?
Stand-up Paddleboards, also known by the acronym SUPs, are seeing a resurgence of popularity. Stand-up paddleboarding is a sport born from surfers using canoe paddles to maneuver their surf boards in order to have a better perspective on the waves. Many people began to enjoy the ability to see waves coming from far away due to the angle they gain by standing up on their boards. Since it's inception, Stand-up paddleboards have evolved into what they are today, a great way to have fun and get exercise. Wider, thicker and more substantial than surfboards, Stand-up Paddleboards come in a variety of sizes, so it is important to talk to a specialist, like Steve at Demo Sport, when deciding which one to buy.
It is important to wear a life vest while out on the water. Depending on where you take your Stand-up paddleboard it may be wise to wear a helmet as well.

Why Stand-Up Paddle Board?
Stand-up paddle boards are a great full-body workout for almost anyone. Standing while rowing encourages you to use your core while your legs and arms are gently sculpted. Stand-up paddle boards are not only a great workout, they also allow you to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city and enjoy a nice relaxing afternoon on the water. Stand-up paddle boarding is a great way to get out on the water with a group of friends or by yourself. You can catch waves in the ocean or cruise the gentle waters of lakes and streams. SUPs are great for most ages and skill levels.
