Stand-Up-Paddleboarding is the latest development in watersports and fitness and we carry the newest boards from Surftech, Native Watercraft and Hobie! Paddleboarding is a sport where you stand (kneel or sit) on a surfboad-like platform and use a very long canoe-style paddle to get yourself around the water...
But that's only the beginning...

Surftech SUP:
Standup paddle surfing has come a long way from its roots where it was first used by Hawaii's famous beachboys.
In the late 90's, Laird Hamilton and a core community of extreme watermen re-introduced the sport of standup paddle surfing as a phenomenal cross-training activity that kept them in the water regardless of conditions.
From carving turns on waves to crossing massive distances on the open ocean, these core individuals have sparked a revolution in how we view our oceans, lakes and waterways.
Evolving from this small group of dedicated surfers, standup paddling and standup paddle surfing have quickly gained popularity worldwide as one of the most exciting new water sports.
Surftech is committed to creating the highest quality SUP's. Whether you are surfing massive Hawaiian waves or looking for the optimal board for the lake in your backyard, we welcome you to come and demo their newest line of SUP's.
We are currently stocked with a full line of Surftech SUP's to see and demo, including models like the French 10'6" & 11'6", the Laird 11'6", 12'1" & the Pearson Arrow Laird 14'0" flatwater racing board. We also have the Joe Bark 14'0" expedition board in our showroom.
Native Watercraft SUP...
As with most of their designs, they started out to create a board thinking that if it provided a successful platform for fly fishing, it would also provide a successful platform for other types of fishing.
We also wanted to follow the Native American technique of designing or building watercraft that can be paddled or poled efficiently and effectively
They're here at the store and we invite you to take a spin on the demo models.
These will take you into the 'skinny water' where no one else can go.
