Paddleboarding

Stand Up Paddle Boarding (SUP) or just Paddleboarding is a top water sport where a paddle is used while standing up on a surfboard.

In 2007 the concept of paddle boarding on flat-water began to take serious shape and a year later the first touring boards started to hit the market. This style of board differed from traditional surfing style SUP’s in that it includes a displacement hull. The displacement hull allows the board to glide and track similar to a canoe or kayak. Many other features soon came out on touring boards including deck rigging to carry gear. The fast design with more glide is an attractive option for those who plan to keep their adventures inland. Tour Paddle Boarding has become a way for individuals to seek adventure, serenity, personal achievement and a deeper connection with nature.

In Ithaca we are using paddleboards to visit shallow bays with turquoise crystal clear waters. We try to avoid bigger waves and spots exposed to the winds. We can visit many spots and see the seafloor from a unique point of view.
