Stand Up Paddling

Try the newest craze to hit the water. Stand Up Paddle surfing or SUP, is a surface water sport that is derived from surfing. The paddler uses a long paddle to move through the water while standing on the board. One difference between the modern idea of surfing and SUP is that the latter does not need a wave, this is helpful for those of us living in the Adirondacks. In SUP you can paddle on the open ocean, in harbors, on lakes, rivers or any large body of water. One of the coolest advantages of Stand Up Paddling is the angle of visibility. Because of the fact that you are standing over the water you can see both deeper into the water and further across the surface of the water, allowing better visualization of features. This is particularly fun on Adirondack waterways such as the Moose River. 

If you have ever wanted to walk on water this may be the closest you get. Placid Waters Kayaking is now offering the chance to try this new sport. We will be offering an instructional demo combined with a guided paddle on the Moose River.

Offering 2 hour paddles that are light on instruction and heavy on fun. Morning and evening times are available as well as some afternoons. Additional times based on availability of staff. Give me a call to reserve a spot as boards are limited.
