Stand up paddleboarding -BASIC SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS-Check weather conditions and hourly forecast before you SUP. See above. Weather-Conditions change quickly especially in the mountains - Do not SUP when lightning is present or in conditions beyond your skill level. Winds at speeds over your paddling speed ex) 5 mph can add significant difficulties when heading into the wind. Your body almost acts like a sail when standing up and this can be helpful or add to the challenge. Lighter and less powerful paddlers can have difficulties in windy conditions. Tacking against the wind like a sailing craft- using available natural wind breaks or paddling from knees or on your stomach can help. Sun Exposure-Sun Reflection off glassy-calm water intensifies sun damage use-extra sun screen. Underwater hazards-Many rock, dead trees and other hidden hazards may exist in certain areas. Falling- Fall flat in the water- preferably on your bottom- and try not to go down deep unless you are confident of safe water depth. Boat Traffic-Stay within 200 feet of shore- Don't assume a boat sees you- Boat wakes- Steer directly into the oncoming wake or ride with the wave if you have enough distance from shoreline. Life Jackets-A must for children, long touring, and is always a good idea. Coast Guard classifies SUPs as a vessel so lifejacket required 200 ft. out of surf zone. Life Guards- Very few locations have lifeguards. SUPing with a partner is recommended and always tell someone where you are going.

On It.
Shot entirely with GoPro HD cameras this video features the POV of a Stand Up Paddleboarders on Folsom Lake during the winter and spring. Water temperatures in these seasons are in the 40's and 50's from the Sierra's snow run off and all this fresh water is contained by the 450' tall Folsom Dam. The goal of the video is to provide awareness of the natural beauty that can be found all around us and encourage others "get in" the water this summer. SUP is the fastest growing water sport in the world and we think the more people that enjoy our lakes rivers and surf the more people will take care of these resources through environmental awareness and action.
Fitness paddling is catching on, but it's also fun to just cruise and visit.
SUP IS FUN FOR EVERYONE
Exploring the lakes from a SUP, you'll see things from a different perspective. East end of Lake Natomas. Stand Up Paddleboarding Fun *experts only.
