Stand Up Paddle Boarding (SUP)

Stand Up Paddle Boarding (SUP) is the fastest growing water sport in America for several great reasons. It’s a low impact full body workout that’s easy to learn, as well as a great outdoor activity that stimulates the mind and body. With a gentle learning curve, you’ll be able to advance your paddling technique and skills much faster than with most sports, all while having fun exploring some of Reston Association’s amazing lakes.

Our instructional methodology offers a step-by-step approach to aid in your skill development. One of the best ways to learn is in our group SUP lessons, where you, friends, or family will receive personal instruction on land and on the water. During our lessons, you’ll learn how to stand on your board, hold your paddle, and utilize different paddling techniques for propulsion and steering. Regardless of age, weight, or experience, everyone will begin to feel more comfortable and gain confidence by using their legs and core muscles to maintain stability on the water. All sessions held on Lake Audubon.
