SUP!

While Stand Up Paddling (SUP) has been around for many many years, there are even pictographs of Hawaiian Kings paddling a board while standing up, Stand Up Paddling is now the fastest growing segment of paddlesports. There are specialized boards for flatwater touring or racing, shorter, more responsive boards for wave riding and river paddling and all around boards that do a little of everything.







Jenda`s Recreational SUP course focuses on flatwater paddling with a focus on kneeling and standing on a board, forward and turning strokes as well as safety considerations.  We also demonstrate different SUP equipment and gear as well as transporting and carrying your SUP.






Jenda held it`s first Beginner Stand Up Paddling course on Sunday.   It was a chilly start to the day but luckily the water was warm enough allowing us to test our boards to their limits. 

We ended the course with a little taste of what to expect in the advanced course, which in our opinion is when the fun really begins!


 










If you want to hop "on board" this new trend, take a look at our course schedule here.





Our Blu Wave Paddleboards arrived just in time for this course!  They sure are pretty!  Our in stock SUP boards can be found here.








A big thank you to Stuart Paynter for taking such great pictures!  We will post a few more on facebook soon.
