DISCOVER SANDBRIDGE

Beautiful Back Bay is truly a special place where state of being and setting merge.  Its wildlife sanctuary will leave you in awe as you watch osprey fly by to nest... spot, egrets, herons, ducks, and otters. When you're not at the beach, you can retreat to the peaceful bay for a little canoeing, kayaking, windsurfing, dock fishing, or crabbing. And at the day's end, picture how relaxing it would be to unwind to the brilliance of a romantic sunset over Back Bay. So this year, why not introduce your family to the "other side" of Sandbridge!

Stand Up Paddleboarding (SUP)

The fast-growing water sport at Sandbridge Beach is Stand Up Paddleboarding (SUP).  This fun activity has really become popular in the past decade. Originating in the islands of Polynesia, it was picked up by surfers in Hawaii as a way of keeping fit while training for competitions. Stand Up Paddleboarding combines surfing and kayaking, but is better than both as you can stand up on a board and use a paddle to propel yourself forward.  It’s a fun, easy way to play on the water!  With a minimum of equipment, you can paddle anything from ocean surf to the lakes and rivers—and best of all, no waves are required.  And since you're standing at your full height, you'll enjoy excellent views of everything from sea creatures to what's on the horizon. It's almost like walking on water!

Paddleboarding Stance:

Beginners will find it easier to paddle on their knees until they get the hang of it and learn to balance the board.  Paddleboards used in this sport are wide, very stable and equipped with a rear fin.  It’s a very easy sport to pick up and a fun workout.


Tips for keeping your balance:
  • 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.
