This Saturday, July 16th, ClearWater Outdoor is hosting the Midwest SUP Races at the Riviera Boat docks in downtown Lake Geneva. Paddleboarding, kayaking, rowing and canoeing are new ways of getting on Geneva Lake and of course, enviromentally friendly. We are fortunate to have two great company’s, ClearWater Outdoor and Fontana Paddle Company in Fontana provding lessons on stand up paddle boarding. It is fastly becoming well know and it is great for your arms, core strength and legs.
I like to do open water swims in Geneva Lake off of Fontana Beach and so.jpg)
it was an easy fit to walk into Fontana Paddle Company right by the lakefront and sign up for a stand up paddle board lesson and 2 hour time slot on the water. The morning proved calm, clear and gorgeous as I signed all the legal docs ( you know how that goes!) but once you do it you are on file. A good lesson on a newbie stand up paddle board and I was on my way with my sister Jean Marie. The board I started out on is meant for first timers and is a little hard but the next level board is more supple and easier on your feet. Balance, looking to the horizon and keeping my knees bent worked! It was great arm work, we got through many waves and overall had a great time. I would recommend a hat/visor, sun screen, gloves on your hands if you haven’t built up some calluses and most important. RELAX. The only thing you can do is fall in the water, which I did, and it was great to cool off.
So visit either store ClearWater or Fontana Paddle Company because everyone is enthusiastic about their product and working with you for your overall health, wellbeing and comfort on and off the water. Get off your toosh and get on the water at Lake Geneva!
