About
SUP for 2 hours with launch access from our dock in Silver Lake!
During this time you are welcome to stay in the harbor and view all of the sights and sounds it has to offer such as pelicans and historic homes. Additionally, you are also welcome to leave and explore Pamlico Sound where you can access Springer's Point and see a variety of fish and birds.
Our boards are 11 ft long with grippy bottoms to help you stay on. We recommend only those 13 and older use this equipment on their own because of the length and the weight (34 pounds); they can be quite cumbersome to maneuver. This board can hold a maximum capacity of 350 pounds.
More Info
All rentals come with PFD's and paddles.
