About
Rebirth of An Ancient Sport Some do it because it’s the best workout on the water. Others use it to access surf that’s difficult to tap with prone paddling. But the reason this ancient style is going off is simply that it’s a fun new way to experience being on the water. We have a nice selection of paddles and boards. So don’t wait, get down here quick! It’s first come first serve on board selection.
