Annual Surfrider Paddle Race


Outer Banks Stand Up Paddle was pleased to support the annual Surfrider Paddle Race. It was another perfect day on the OBX for a race to support local scholarships. Team OBXSUP fielded six paddlers with Michele (my bride) and niece Sara placing 1st and 2nd in the women's division.

OBXSUP Lesson Thank You Note

We received a very nice note that captures what we do for families learning to SUP...

Rob and Michele,

I’m a little late in sending my thank you for the SUP lessons for Dave, Jessica and myself back in June. We really enjoyed meeting both of you and thoroughly enjoyed our lesson. I can’t wait to go again and will definitely be renting a board next time we come down.

You are both wonderful at instructing. And taking pictures was an unexpected bonus. Hopefully your summer is going well and you are getting a lot of business.

P.S….Dave’s green SUP shirt is one of the nicest ones he has and he has received many compliments on it.

Thank you again,

Deb

Coffee or Water?



For a quick morning wakeup, two cups of Navy coffee or wiping out in 54 degree water?

Duck, NC where Stand Up Paddlers and Surfers (peacefully) share the ocean

So much has been written about the conflict between Stand Up Paddlers and Surfers. It was a joy to share a few waves with our friend Jared.

2011 Season Off and SUPing!

Our 3rd season is off to a fast start. Great surf over the Memorial Day weekend (water was a bit cold 50's) but nice to be without wetsuits. New for 2011 are our high performance Tim Nolte custom SUP boards. For stand up paddlers interested in riding the highest quality, best looking boards on the planet these are for you. This year, we are also focusing on large groups such as wedding parties, reunions, etc. SUPing is a fun activity that can be enjoyed by young & old(er). The more the merrier!
