5 Activities You Can Do on Your SUP

By

One of the best things about a stand up paddle board (SUP) is how many different activities you can do on it. They are versatile tools for your waterway experience. Whether you are taking your SUP board out onto a lake or even heading to the ocean, there are so many ways you can have fun on your board. Even just paddling around is a blast. So, this summer, when you pull out your inflatable or rigid board, give one of these five activities a try to see if you can find a new passion on your SUP. 

Touring

If you want to combine exploration and exercise, SUP touring is for you. Grab your favorite board and SUP paddle, and pack for a day on the water. SUP tours are all about exploring your local waterways and reaching places you just can’t get to on land. For this activity, you will want a rigid board that offers extra durability because you might be exploring rocky shorelines or wooden docks. You can go on a shorter tour for an hour or two, but it’s easy to spend the whole day out on the water once you get into the paddling flow.

Yoga

Paddle boarding is a naturally peaceful experience. You float smoothly across the water in a tranquil environment while relaxing and breathing in the fresh air. Increase the serenity of your paddle board trip by going through a yoga routine on your board. With a stable board that offers a comfortable deck pad, you can go through an entire session while in the middle of a lake. Start with simple moves and poses, and then you can increase the difficulty as you get more comfortable on your board.

Fishing

Fishing from the dock is one thing but casting from a paddle board is a whole new experience that every avid angler should try. You get to be right in the middle of the action and reach spots you’ve never been to before. There are even SUPs designed for a fishing excursion. With extra storage capacity, anchor points, and rod holders, these boards have everything you need to go fishing on your paddle board.

Photography

Photography is all about capturing an image that nobody has captured before. Whether it is a different angle or subject, your picture needs a certain element that makes it unique. Paddle boards can help you achieve this. If you cast off from shore on a SUP with your camera, you will be able to find angles that you’ve never shot before. It isn’t every day that you get to take photographs while floating on a body of water. If you take your camera on a SUP tour, you might even discover new areas that you couldn’t reach and photograph from land.

Surfing

You don’t need a surfboard to catch waves. An all-around rigid SUP is stable enough for some whitewater activities. You can head to the beach with your board and ride the waves as they break. Or you can take it down a river with easygoing whitewater sections. Paddle boarding doesn’t always have to be relaxing. In some cases, you might want something a little more exciting to get your blood pumping. SUP surfing is just that activity. Make sure to practice on smaller waves first to get the hang of surfing on a paddle board before you test it out on bigger waves.
