If you have the opportunity, this is such a fun way to work your core and upper body.

I was out for 90 minutes today off Cardiff State Beach (CA) and saw 2 dolphins.

Here's a cool vid (not today):

    I don't do the SUP thing, but I paddle outrigger racing canoe. Which is also a great core and upper body workout, plus it builds teamwork.

    I've just started SUPing. Not on the ocean yet though but it is so much fun, I love it!

    That looks like it would be fun & an awesome workout. Where would you get such items to try it? I usually frequent Encinitas for my beaching needs, so I'm right near Cardiff. :)

    Hey there bethyfoofoo -- you can rent a board and get started up at Carlsbad Lagoon - try Carlsbad SUP club: http://carlsbadstanduppaddleboardclub.com/default.aspx

    Also Mission Bay Aquatics Center if you're closer.

    It's a blast! When you're ready, join us at Cardiff any morning surf report says 1-3 ft :)

    Hi sleepytexan and bethyfoofoo - I am a San Diegan too!! I just tried SUP at the river this weekend and LOVED it!! I am still feeling it in my arms and shoulders this morning, so know that it was an awesome workout. I can't wait to try it at the bay!! I have seen so many people doing it and have been dying to try it. Not sure I am ready for the ocean yet though "sleepytexan", but maybe soon. Tammy
