Thank you for your interest in our company and the sport of stand up paddleboarding, or SUP. Central Florida is ideally situated for paddling with waterways in every direction you look! From the residential chain of lakes in each county to the lush crystal clear springs that abound thru out the area. Central Florida is a flat water paddlers mecca! We love that our area provides calmer waters for beginners to learn on while still providing world class paddling for more experienced paddlers. There is literally something for everyone between our lakes, rivers, springs and nearby oceans. We can’t wait to get you on board and show you our favorite spots!
Way back in 2009 our founder Uncle Ned was on an “Adventure date” with his then girlfriend now wife, Marla. That days “adventure” was a kayak race in St Pete followed by a free demo day of paddleboarding. Uncle Ned remembers the moment as a literal light bulb going off over his head when he stepped on a SUP for the first time! Describing himself as a frustrated Florida surfer but a fair to good kayak racer this board he was standing on seemed like the perfect marriage of 2 favorite watersports! His mind racing with possibilities, Ned was nearing the end of his competitive wakeboard days, and SUP offered a way to stay on the water on a board without the dramatic impacts of wakeboarding. Back at home, excited and anxious to learn and practice more, Uncle searched about on the internet for places in Orlando to SUP. With no dedicated full time paddleboard businesses in Orlando; 6 months later Uncle Ned quit his 20 year career with the state of Florida’s Lottery marketing department and started Orlando’s first paddleboard company, Paddleboard Orlando!
