Ten on Tuesday

Posted on Tuesday, May 8, 2012 |
Happy Tuesday everyone!  Since we are just starting this blog I thought my first Ten on Tuesday would be, Why SUP?  These are reasons why I think it is fun to SUP...and who am I?  Just someone who enjoys Stand Up Paddle Boarding!  :)

1.  Great for families and really any age.  The great thing about SUP is if you have just one board, your kiddo can just ride along with you.  Then when they start to dig being out on the water, they can get their own board!  How cute would that be?



2.  Let's Get Physical!  SUP is a great low impact core workout.  You'll use muscles you didn't even know you have while giving your core a boost. 

3.  Just add a boat.  Want a thrill while paddling on flat water?  Have a boat get just ahead of you and catch a never ending wave behind the boats wake.

4.  Man's Best Friend.  Where would we be without our loving, faithful, furry friend.  If your dog loves water, they will love to Stand Up Paddle Board with you!  I would definitely recommend a doggie life jacket...at least until they get used to it!

5.  It just looks cool!  I know in Indiana you just don't see that many people doing Stand Up Paddle Boarding...YET!  :)  It's definitely a conversation starter.  Be one of the first out on your lake!

6.  Good friends, good conversation.  I know from many years of boating experience people like to tie off boats and just chill and relax.  Get a group together and paddle out in the lake and when you need a rest just sit down or cannon ball off your board and just relax. 

7.  Explore! SUP allows you to paddle into areas of water that maybe your boat will not allow.  As an owner of an inboard boat, there are just some places we cannot go.  Now you can paddle wherever your little heart desires! 

8.  Where will SUP take you?  Going on a nice relaxing vacay?  Take your board with you!  There's always cool lakes and rivers that need exploring. Whether your vacay takes you to surfing paradise in Fiji or to relaxing lakes in the next state...find where you can paddle and get another view of the sights.

9.  Tricky!  Once you find your comfort zone in SUP, why not try learning some new tricks!  Like wake surfing mentioned above or doing 360s, or whatever tickles your fancy.

10.  And finally, WHY NOT - YOLO!  You only live once!
