SUP in Seattle NorthCountry
Stand-up Paddleboarding (abbreviated by the hip to merely “SUP”) is an increasingly popular watersport for people who like mild recreation and exertion.
It’s a workout that involves balance and core muscle control, but it’s also fun and a way to get out and enjoy a tranquil waterway.
If you’re not into cruising around you can also do yoga on the paddleboard. Balancing on ever-undulating waves is a sure-fire way to build balance and muscle control.
Seattle NorthCountry is a great place to explore lakes, rivers, and even the ocean by paddleboard. The view while you’re out on the water can’t be beat.
