Stand-Up Paddle Boarding

Stand-up paddle boarding is one of the hottest sports today because it is fun for the family and also is great for fitness. So, to introduce new people to the sport Captain John’s Marina has added new SUP classes, SUP clinics and SUP club activities for fun on Big Bear Lake.

First, Captain John’s Fawn Harbor & Marina is hosting the popular women’s stand-up paddle boarding club (SUP) every Thursday at 5:30pm. The SUP club meets weekly through October.

Known simply as BOBs, the Babes on Boards is an opportunity for women to learn from women about how to stand-up paddle board in a casual atmosphere. Gals of all ages gather weekly for a lakeside potluck and take turns learning the sport.

Locals know that the popular Babes on Boards is a great way to make friends and get out on a paddleboard for some fun. This year you can drop in to paddle for only $5 per person per session. However, if you join as a member ($25) you will receive an official BOBs t-shirt and decal along with the savings.

We enjoy getting people out on Big Bear Lake and want to take the sport to new heights. So this year Tammy, our certified trainer, has not only scheduled Stand-up paddle boarding lessons for beginners, intermediate and advances paddlers, but she has also put together some amazing stand-up paddle boarding fitness and floating yoga classes.

Captain John’s also wants you to keep an eye out for that mid-summer intensive SUP clinic. This is perfect for anyone who wants to become more skilled in this water sport. Last year SUP World Champion Annabel Anderson providing paddleboard students with some of her competitive strategies–secrets many would love to discover!

Of course, if you love paddling or have a desire to get started in the sport, Captain John’s has a variety of paddleboards for rent. If you are coming up to Big Bear just keep in mind that the paddleboard rentals are first come first serve.

Finally, our best kept secret is out, Captain John’s offers a SUP midweek season pass for those whose goal is to get into the popular water sport more frequently.
