paddle boards

Flat floating platforms

Paddle boards are long, buoyant boards designed for standing and propelling oneself across water using a paddle.

The activity—stand-up paddleboarding or SUP—emerged from surfing culture and has become popular for recreation, fitness, and exploring calm waterways.

Paddle boards range from rigid fiberglass models to inflatable versions for easy transport: We rented paddle boards and spent the afternoon on the lake.
