Yesterday (June 19, 2010) between 9 AM and 1 PM Encinitas-Based K5 Boardshops introduced dozens of people of all ages to the quickly growing sport of stand up paddling. Equipment from the major SUP manufacturers, including boards and paddles, was on the beach and free to demo at California Water Sports on the Carlsbadistan Lagoon.
Yes, we tried it. It was fun. We didn’t even get wet. It was a lot like canoeing standing up. Or, like hiking on water. . .
K5’s Jurgen Schulz with Cue Projects‘ Tim Swart and Jon Lee made sure everyone got on a SUP set-up that was proper.
With all these boards there wasn’t a whole lot of waiting around. Just grab and board and start paddling.
We’ve all driven by the lagoon so many times. Next time, don’t drive by. Stop in and check out the scene.
