Paddleboard Instructional Trip

Enjoy the Roanoke River from a Stand Up Paddleboard (SUP) with one of our experienced guides. This section of river is just off the Blue Ridge Parkway, is within 20 minutes of Roanoke and parallels Explore Park. It is essentially flat water, as it is backed up from Smith Mountain Lake. These trips are well suited to beginners and cover the basics of SUPing, from weight placement to efficient paddling techniques. SUP’s offer a great vantage point, as you are elevated well above the surface of the water, allowing for a great view of the river scenery. It’s a great way to get a full body workout with lots of emphasis on balance and your core muscles. Depending upon your groups skill level, we can also do less instruction and cover more water if desired. Time on the water is typically 1.5 hours. This class is accepted by Roanoke City Parks and Recreation as a SUP Certification for those who are interested in getting their Badge to paddle at Carvins Cove.
