Paddleboarding in Turks and Caicos

Things to Do in Turks and Caicos Paddleboarding MangrovesWhat's SUP Paddleboarding?

Stand Up Paddleboarding (SUP, not much, you?) involves a surfboard, a paddle, and the wild majestic sea. This fast-growing sport is a fun and easy way to play aquatically and offers the pleasurable effect of walking on water. Paddleboarding is also an excellent core and cardio workout and is used as a cross-training activity for skiers, snowboarders, and other athletes. Get your heart rate up by paddling fast, left to right as you balance your core; or just sail leisurely and enjoy the ride! From your vantage point balancing on the board, you'll witness stunning views both off to the horizon and beneath the water's surface. With the crystal clear Caribbean Sea beneath your feet, you can see the vivid marine life in all its brilliant colours. Stand Up Paddleboarding is an awesome way to get out on the open water, with the trade winds on your face, as you experience the pure joy that comes from freedom.

Things to do in TUrks and Caicos Yoga PaddleboardingPaddleboarding Stance - A few tips to keep you upright:

  • Your feet should be parallel, about hip-width distance apart, centered between the rails (board edges).
  • (Don't stand on the rails).
  • Keep toes pointed forward, knees bent and your back straight.
  • Balance with your hips—not your head.
  • Keep your head and shoulders steady and upright, and shift your weight by moving your hips.
  • Your gaze should be level at the horizon. Avoid the temptation to stare at your feet.
  • It's much like bicycling: When your forward momentum increases, your stability increases as well.

  1. What – what an amazing place to SUP. I learned how off Grace Bay Beach in front of the Veranda. Would love to do a tour exploring the mangroves. Next time!
