What kind of shape do I need to be in?
SUPing is whatever you want it to be. To me wondering about what kind of shape you need to be in is like asking what kind of shape you need to be in to go for a walk. Really, I say that with all seriousness. We accommodate and welcome all ages and all levels of fitness. You don’t even have to know how to swim. You do need to be able to kneel, stand and paddle. There is no pressure to do anything you are not comfortable with.
If you are worried about being able to balance, don’t be you will learn and it comes fast!
Dress like you were going for a hike or walk on the beach. People ask me all the time if they should wear a wet suit and the answer is always NO, unless you are going in the ocean. When you flat water sup you are on top of the water and wet suits are made for being in the water. If you winter or sup in the non-summer conditions then you might like wetsuit booties to keep your feet warm and I like gloves so my fingers don’t get cold. Bike gloves work well too.
For summer days bring a hat, sunglasses and sunscreen. Dress comfortable and wear things you don’t mind getting wet or a bit dirty.
What should I bring with me?
Bring a change of clothes and a towel. Yes you might fall in! Other than that some water and a sense of adventure!
