| Paddleboarding in beautiful Bend, Oregon. |
You’ve probably
noticed that SUP worthy weather has arrived in Bend early this year! Yay!
Here’s what's cooking at Stand Up Paddle Bend this season....
Our high quality SUP rentals
continue to be very affordable - just $15 an hour or $45 for the day.
•
Rentals include everything
you need to SUP (board, paddle, leash, life jacket and straps for your car).
•
Because we want you to have
as much fun as possible, we always do our best to match the board to the rider
(you’ll have a lot more fun with equipment suited to your body type and level
of experience).
•
We offer after-hours rentals
for those with schedules that only allow early morning or evening
paddles.
•
All our rental boards are
good quality “real boards.” We’ve
added lots of new boards, paddles, PFDs, leashes and straps to the fleet for
2012.

the get go. If you’ve been paddling for a while, a Skill Building Lesson

Our very popular SUP yoga
class, Flow/Flow will be back again this summer! Yay! Flow/Flow is
taught by the inspirational Shanan Kelley and Kama Blasing of Bend’s wonderful
Mandala Yoga Community. Each class consists of 45 minutes of outdoor yoga
(on land), followed by a 45 minute paddle – a double dose of prana.
Flow/Flow is a lovely way to find tone your body, mind and spirit while
communing with nature.
This year, we’re launching a
SUP Fitness Class. SUP is a killer total body workout all on its own… so
when you add strength training moves and cardio intervals to the mix you’ve got
a SUPer killer workout… AND it’s fun… AND you get to enjoy the beautiful
outdoors at the same time.
