Stand-up paddle boarding (SUP) is the perfect way to get out and enjoy nature. I started stand-up paddle boarding 5 years ago. Being a natural born travel planner, I spent a lot of time figuring out where to go and how to have the best SUP experience. Here is all the information you need to get started SUP around Alberta. Getting Started with Stand-Up Paddle Boarding The best way to get started is to take a beginner lesson. In an hour you will be able to stand up, get comfortable, paddle, and turn the board. It looks a lot harder than it is. If you do fall, it’s only into water so it is a lot less risky than a sport like mountain biking. There are longer, more advanced courses if you want to learn more advance stand-up paddle boarding, but a beginner lesson is fine if you’re looking to go out on calm lakes and enjoy a few hours on the water.

Travelling to see the popular tourist attractions and experiences makes for a great trip and a shared experience, but it is also exhilarating to find the lesser known, off-the-beaten path, locations. When trip planning, I aim for the highlights and something off-the-beaten path. I loved going to the temples at Angkor Watt, touring the Tower of London and Stonehenge, and experiencing Shibuya Crossing in Tokyo. I also enjoyed staying on a small island in Ireland, hanging out with monkeys in the wild in Kyoto, and spending a day at a quiet beach in Australia.
