| Stand Up Paddling |
|
In every event that we've organized for kids (the most recent for the Capitola Jr Guards), it has turned out to be a unique and memorable occasion for all. If you are looking for something different for your next birthday party, then try an activity that everyone in the family, along with your friends can participate in and is fun for all ... Stand up paddle boarding is a sport that goes beyond just riding the waves, it's an ideal sport to learn on flat bodies of water and incorporates a fun workout with the sensation of walking on water. Utilizing a stand up board and paddle, Stand up Paddle Boarding will show you the benefits of building strength through balance and resistance, as well as how stand up paddling burns calories. A total core and cardiovascular workout, either on a lake for a flat water workout or on the ocean riding waves in the surf, stand up paddling works your entire body and mind. What other form of fitness can you do where you get a workout from your “toes to your temples” along with enjoying the surrounding scenery and the Peace of Gliding across the water? Call us now to organize your kids' next party! Neil Pearlberg, 831-818-7225, supclass@me.com http://supclass.com/
