Why Choose a Stand Up Paddle Board?

Stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) is a fun and versatile way to play on the water. With a minimum of equipment, you can paddle anything from ocean surf to lakes and rivers—no waves required. Paddleboarding delivers a full-body workout and thus has become a popular cross-training activity. And since you stand at your full height, you can enjoy unique views of everything from sea creatures to what’s on the horizon. It’s almost like walking on water!

When to Use a Stand Up Paddle Board

- Touring: Touring paddle boards are designed for long distances and are great for exploring lakes, rivers, and oceans.
- Yoga: SUP yoga has become increasingly popular, especially in places like Boise where we have access to the Boise River.
- Fishing: Fishing paddle boards are designed with stability in mind, and often come with attachments for your fishing gear.
- Surfing: While not all paddle boards are designed for surfing, there are paddle boards that are specifically designed for surfing.
- Racing: Racing SUP boards are designed for speed and are great for those looking to compete in races.
- Whitewater: Whitewater SUP boards are designed with maneuverability in mind and are great for those looking to take on the Boise River or other whitewater rapids.
