Summer is the time for new experiences. If you are looking
to get your feet wet (put intended), stand up paddle boarding is the way to go.
Capital SUP is located in Annapolis, is a great company that has wonderful
staff, and a nice venue for enjoying time on the water. If you have never SUP’ed
(stand up paddle board) before, they offer lessons. I chose to forego the
lesson and just figured out the balance on my own. They provide you with the
board the paddle and a life jacket. However, even though I didn’t sign up for
lessons, the staffer on the dock gave me a few basic tips to make sure that I
did okay. In the end, I only fell in the water 3 times (not bad for a first
timer). The feeling of floating on the water without being in a boat is a as
close to surfing as you can get without being in waves. This was a very cool
experience.
In addition to hourly rentals and lessons, they also offer
guided tours, LED night tours, race training, special events (such as Full Moon
LED lit Sup Yoga), day time SUP Yoga, and more. I went with my son (8 years old
at the time) and he and I had a blast. Make sure to bring lots of sunscreen as
it gets hot on the water.
