What’s SUP? Explore Your City! Don’t Paddle Bored.

Stand Up Paddle Boarding is taking the world by storm. With multiple schools, guided tours and fitness programs being established, SUP is here to stay and continues to be reinvented. Though paddleboarding can be done for a variety of purposes, the simple pleasure of exploring a new waterway or encountering wild animals in their own environment is truly a special experience. South Florida has a very active paddleboard community that is constantly seeking new adventures and places to explore. A good stepping off point is to google directories of canoe/kayak trails and lists of boat ramps. This is a great way to find new areas to explore on your stand up paddle board.  For a  list of  Florida paddling trails and boat ramps, visit one of the following sites:

Florida Paddling Trails
Florida Boat Ramps
Ft. Lauderdale Boat Ramps

For nationwide paddling trails visit:

Check out these photos of some cool South Florida waterways to explore…

Paddling The New River:

The “New River” in Ft. Lauderdale can open up to be an interesting and challenging paddle. The scenery varies from the backyards of beautiful houses to massive open shipyards and small nature preserves.

Key Biscayne via Hobie Beach-  Paddle through Vizcaya out to the Sandbar then Marine Stadium:

If you are looking for an open water experience then launching from Hobie beach in Key Biscayne can be fun. To your right you can even paddle through a small portion of Vizcaya- a historic Miami museum and garden. The water is very shallow, and you can hang out on the sandbar where you will see many manatees, crabs and nurse sharks.
