What’s Paddleboarding All About?
It’s all explained in the name. Stand-up paddleboarding (also abbreviated SUP) is when you stand on a wide, stable board and use a long paddle to float across the water. It’s not as difficult as it sounds. Once you get your balance, it will be smooth sailing – er – paddling. You can take in the sights from a whole different vantage point, accessing spots you might not be able to on foot.
Where to Paddle Board in Port Aransas?
Port Aransas has a variety of paddling trails. Get out into the Lighthouse Lakes paddling trail for an exciting adventure. You can paddle along four loops that meander through mangrove estuaries, sloughs, and back lakes. Take this trail to paddle by the Lydia Ann Lighthouse. The Lighthouse Lakes Trail is part of the Redfish Bay Scientific Area which means it’s a protected and respected section of land, so treat it kindly when you visit.
Or if you want to keep it simple, you can paddle along the shore of the beach if the waves aren’t too rough. Early in the morning can offer you a calmer part of the sea. Local outfitters in Port A rent paddleboards and offer helpful tips for first-timers.
Anyone Can Paddleboard
Seriously, anyone. If you aren’t an experienced swimmer, that doesn’t mean the paddleboarding party has to stop. You can still paddleboard with a life jacket. All you need to do is find your balance and enjoy the ride.
