Houseboat SUP - stand up paddling for house boats?

by Liam Wilmott

Aloha, I wanted to know if you have seen very much stand up paddling happening on lakes? I called a few houseboat rental companies to see if they have- or were interested in stocking SUP boards and surprisingly enough they said that "it is not a good fit for the locations they are".

For the first time in the history of surfing you don't need a wave, you can also fish, exercise, travel, surf boat wakes, etc. it's environmentally friendly, easy to store and use, and incredibly fun. It's PERFECT for flat water!

What do you think? Liam

Well Liam, welcome to the houseboat forums, and I think the SUP boards (stand up paddling) are a great item to have on board.

They don't take up much room, and can be use to explore the surrounding areas.

I am not so sure that they are useful to everyone, as I am sure that there is an issue with "balance".



Lastly, hopefully some of our readers will share and post comments about their houseboat water toys and their SUP (stand up paddling) experiences. Feel free to use the "Click here to post comments." link found near the bottom of this page.
