PADDLEBOARDING TRAINING AND INSTRUCTION

Improve Your Stand Up Paddle Board Skills!

Are you coming to Montana’s Glacier National Park and looking for some fun this summer?  The sport, commonly known as SUP’ing, is an ancient form of surfing that originated in the Hawaiian Islands. Stand-Up Paddle Boarding is a type of surfing where the surfers use a paddle to move through the water while standing on a surfboard, usually ranging from 9-12 feet in length.  We are in West Glacier Montana and have Stand-Up Paddle Board rentals as well as SUP instruction courses and SUP river trips.

SUP’ing here in Montana has taken off and with the abundant lakes and rivers, Sup’ing is not to be missed.  Stand-up paddle boarding is a great way to see Montana’s lakes and river from a different perspective and we can teach you how.  SUP’ing is challenging, lots of fun, and is a great “core” & balance workout.  It’s recommended that you learn basic techniques and skills before you head to moving water.  If you want to try something fun and challenging this summer on your Montana vacation, don’t miss out on our stand-up paddle board training.
