What is a Fitness Touring Paddle?

Fitness paddling with Stand and Paddle combines the exploration of SUP touring with cardiovascular fitness, paddle-specific strength, and technique work. These sessions are for those who want to move with purpose — building endurance, refining skills, and getting stronger on (and off) the board.

What to Expect:

• Paddling for 60–90 minutes at a steady, fitness-focused pace

• Higher intensity intervals and technique drills

• Course paddling or set distance touring

• Efficiency-focused stroke practice

• Paddling standing up for the majority of the session

• Group camaraderie and accountability

• A commitment to moving, not lounging

• Rain or shine (unless thunder/lightning)

If you’re looking for a casual float, this isn’t the right fit.

Who They're For:

Prerequisites

To keep the group aligned in pace and safety, paddlers must:

• Have completed at least one SUP lesson (and be able to demonstrate basic technique)

• Be able to paddle standing up for 1 hour at a steady, consistent pace

• Bring a leash and PFD (required)

• Use of a touring or race board is highly stressed (12’6”+)

When & Where:

Start time is on the water time — arrive early if you need to prep, pump, or unload. Late arrivals are responsible for catching up.
