Stand Up Paddle Boarding is becoming one of the fastest growing water sports in North Texas. On a recent demonstration at The Vineyards Campground, Penni and Kevan Burt of SUPATX gave our guests a chance to see what stand up paddling (SUP) was all about.
Though Grapevine Lake is well-known for all kinds of water sports, especially kayaking and skiing, the Burts are confident that stand up paddling will be added to the list of favorites very soon. "It's a sport that all ages can enjoy!" says Burt.
Commonly called "SUP" — a stand up paddle board is a larger, wider version of a surfboard; only made with more volumn so it floats better. It's covered in a special non-slip material to help with barefoot traction. Using a long paddle, one can easily propel themselves through the lake with great ease. SUPATX offers personal training with each lesson before letting paddlers go out on their own. In addition, the new sport offers an amazing work-out for building the core muscles, as well as arm strength and body alignment.

What an absolutely super idea - paddle boarding. Looks like even I could do it. Having lived by the ocean in California you get used to surfing, etc. and paddle boarding looks like the way to go.Maybe the Burts will bring it to Lake Texoma next. Glenda Martinez at Lake Texoma.
