Best Watersports: Paddle Boarding

Paddle boarding, also known as SUP, is a great alternative to surfing if the waves aren’t big. Small waves and calm seas mean you can paddle out anywhere on the beach! The slower pace of SUP is a perfect Segway to experience the best watersports our amazing town has to offer.

Don’t worry if you aren’t experienced. There are great places/shops that offer rentals for gear and lessons to help you get out on the water. Jacksonville has plenty to offer when it comes to paddle boarding adventures. Here are a few spots we recommend trying for rentals and tours.

• Adventure Kayak Florida

• All Wet Sports

• Beach Life Rentals

• Black Creek Outfitters

• Kayak Amelia
