Paddle Boarding Overtakes Denver

Sure, we know that Denver is famous for our ski and snowboarding backyard.   But more than ever a new sport is winning the hearts of Denver Residents.  That sport is Paddle Boarding.

It doesn’t take much to understand why.  With 300+ days of sunshine and a huge number of local and mountain lakes, streams, and rivers to choose from Paddle Boarding is a sport on the water that offers a great workout and beautiful views.  Even though many think of Paddle Boarding as an ocean lifestyle activity, our calm lake waters can make for the perfect water outing.

There’s even a huge group of folks who enjoy SUP (Stand Up Paddle Boarding) Yoga.  If you thought your core got a workout doing regular Yoga just try and add balancing on water to the equation.

Add one more reason to the lengthy reason why Denver is an amazing place to live.
