SUP is also one of the few sports that works almost every muscle in your body – from head to toe. Enjoy a relaxing ride during sunset along the shore, or endure an iron-man's workout in the waves... SUPing is a sport that you make your own.
Let us get you started! Check out our SUP lesson/Demo Clinic.

Terminology: Surfing vs. Boarding: What's the difference?
Stand Up Paddle Boarding is typically viewed as flat water riding including cruising, racing or touring. This type of riding really calls for a specific board. This is the Naish Glide, a SUP board built to paddle with more efficiency, but less ability to handle waves.
Stand Up Paddle Surfing is done in the waves. An example of a Surf Style board is the Naish Nalu; while this type of board is built for SUPing in the waves, it will also feel right at home on flat water.
Buying gear
If you have questions on Stand Up Paddle boarding gear, we will teach you what to look for in the perfect board and paddle. When looking to purchase your own gear, have some information ready for us before you stop in to the MACkite Surf Shop to make the buying process as simple as possible:
- How much do you weigh? Will you be sharing the board?
- Where do you live and what are the water conditions (i.e. waves, inland lake, river, etc.)?
- If you have never tried SUP, do you have other water sport experience? (i.e. surf, windsurf, kayak, etc.)
- What are you looking to get out of Stand Up Paddle boarding? (i.e. core fitness, relaxation, a fun activity for the kids, wave riding, etc.)
