Sun + Fun = A Great Escape

Have you ever wanted to try stand up paddling? Well, what's stopping you? Take a lesson, get a tan, and you might just be hooked for life.

I'm dying to try stand up paddling. I've been talking about trying it for years, and I don't know what I'm waiting for. Since there really is no time like the present, and considering how fantastic the weather has been all week, I just can't put it off any longer.

SUP Coronado is the first local operation to focus entirely on stand up paddling. And in case you don't know what stand up paddling is, it's the sport of standing on a large surfboard and using a long paddle to maneuver around the ocean. If you've had experience surfing and you're feeling brave, you can take an intermediate class that teaches you how to rides the waves of Coronado's coastline. Or, if you're a wimp like me, you can take a mellow bay tour while learning the basics.

Stand up paddling is a fantastic workout and it would be a great activity to enjoy with your partner or a friend. I know plenty of people who have tried it and were immediately hooked. Who knows? Maybe I'll be next.
