The ABCs of Stand-Up Paddle Boarding (SUP!)

Paddle board morning tripAnywhere:
Unlike specific kayaks and rafts, stand-up paddle boards aren’t limited to rivers. Paddle boarding offers adventure on rivers, lakes and oceans!

Beautiful:
Enjoy the pristine beauty of Durango’s Lower Animas River with a half-day lesson on a SUP. Paddle boards offer a different perspective than rafts, as you are standing on the board and heading upstream where you will get to see areas our rafts don’t venture.

Calm:
Our paddle board lessons head upstream to a very calm and mild section of Durango’s Lower Animas River. Secluded and away from the splashes of rafts, stand-up paddle boarders are able to enjoy a calm, serene day on the river.

Paddle Board HeadstandDe-stress:
Are you on vacation? Did you “call in sick” to work? You deserve a way to rid yourself of those daily stresses! Get away from the craziness of life with an afternoon of paddle boarding. Whether trying your hand at paddle board yoga or simply taking a nap on your board, stand-up paddle boarding is sure to help you relax!

Exercise:
Stand-up paddle boarding provides a great core workout. Learning to balance on a board not only helps strengthen core muscles, but paddling helps to strengthen arms and shoulders!
