Combined SUP Lesson/PaddleFit Challenge Event Photos - Aug. 31, 2013

Due to popular demand, we had to add yet ANOTHER event over Labor Day Weekend!

A great new group to add to our ever-growing NorCal Chapter of the Stark Raving Pirates...and an awesome time was had by all!!!

SUP Lesson/PaddleFit Challenge Photos - Aug. 17, 2013

Congrats to the newest members of the NorCal Chapter of the Stark Raving Pirates, who came out for our first ever combo Stand Up Paddleboard instruction/PaddleFit Workout Challenge at Lake Sonoma...all for the price of a single lesson!

Even after the serious beat-down they received with both land/water drills, we couldn't get them to give up their boards...4 hours+ later we finally talked them back to shore.

As Stark Raving SUP alumni, they're now eligible to participate in any future events and PaddleFit programs requiring our basic 'Stand Up' lesson.

You can watch a video segment of the day's event on Stark Raving Stand Up Paddleboard Coaching & Fitness's Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/StarkFitNutritionStandUpPaddleboardCoaching?ref=hl

Aye, nice job, mateys! You rocked it!

Stark Raving Intro to Paddleboarding Fitness Events - California/Montana

For those of you who have always been curious about Stand Up Paddleboarding (SUP), but just haven't had an opportunity (short of a vacation to Hawaii or Lake Tahoe) to experience it up-close and personal, the Stark Fitness crew occasionally provides you with an opportunity!

On Friday, June 21, 2013, Stark Fitness hosted a free intoduction to SUP paddling and fitness workshop at Lake Sonoma (Northern CA).

We had a variety of boards and paddles on site to explain the basic equipment needs depending on your interests, size and skill level of SUP. We also addressed how incorporating SUP into a fitness program achieves desired goals, with the added benefits of doing your workouts on the water, and having a blast doing it!

We followed this up with several free introduction sessions in the Bitterroot Valley of Montana in July! These are great ways of getting folks familiar with the sport before investing hard-earned cash on buying gear.

Keep checking in for future events.
