Boards and Paddlers that is! On July 24th, the Surfrider Foundation/Outer Banks Chapter raised over $7,000 benefiting local county schools & educational programs from their 17th annual paddle race. Outer Banks Stand Up Paddle (OBXSUP) was a sponsor and also fielded 6 SUPers for the event. Team OBXSUP newcomer Linsey Cousins finished 1st and Michele Mulloy was 2nd in the women's division. It is an extremely well organized race and fun to see paddlers of all ages on different types of watercraft sharing our beautiful ocean. Photo courtesy of Brent Nultemeier.

Paddle Around America Family visits Duck

The Monroe Family (Kelly, Michael, and Mia) from California visited Duck as part of their stand up paddle trip around the country. They plan to visit 30 states in 31 days and to paddle on at least 37 different bodies of water. We are glad they stopped by, had a great paddle and a duck donut to boot! Please follow the link below for details about their trip.

OBX Record Lesson

We had the pleasure of teaching Bill and Kathleen Ryan's family of 13 to SUP. With the youngest at 8 and the oldest at 71 it clearly shows that this is the sport for all ages. A great time on the water was had by all!
