New Sport!? Stand Up Paddleboarding! Racing, Surfing & Yoga

Stand Up Paddleboarding in Braintree!

This year will be the first year stand up paddleboarding will enter the summer recreation program in Braintree at Sunset Lake, in addition to sailing. This international sport of stand up paddleboard racing yields large purse prizes and paddlers travel around to do so. The special olympics has begun entering it into their program and you will hopefully soon see it in schools as a sport (if we can help it!). In addition to racing a stand up paddleboard, you can surf and take a yoga class on one too! Sign your children up to learn to stand up paddleboard with the Braintree Recreational Department or contact www.SUPSONAS.com 1-707-847-6627 (txt or call) or SUPSONAS@gmail.com for more information on this or on private lessons.  Be on the lookout for adult SUP races and SUP surf contests as well.
