Stand Up Paddle Surfing (SUPing) is the ultimate experience for people of all ages to enjoy almost any body of water. SUP is easy to learn and one of the fastest growing sports on the planet. From a leisurely cruise around the lake to riding the waves, SUP allows you to get out on the water nearly every day of the year. SUP is also one of the few sports that work almost every muscle in your body from head to toe. You will observe some shore side demonstrations and receive some shoreline training at Bowman Bay.
