So, what else can your standup paddleboard do for you? How about transform into a gym? Yes it can! Your SUP can quickly become more than just another board in your quiver. With many boards becoming stable enough to perform pilates and yoga on, your SUP can become a mobile gym.

Paddling out to your favorite spot and enjoying the serenity and peacefulness can be enough for most to get the perfect day going or to have a quick get away from the stresses and worries of the day. But did you know you can take another step toward centering your energy? There are many exercises you can perform on your SUP to strengthen your core.

With a board like the NRG Fitness (10'5"x30") that was designed by Starboard with the help of team rider Nikki Gregg, you can attach your paddle safely in order to perform exercises while not having to worry about your paddle getting away from you. The NRG Fitness also has multiple tie-down points integrated into the system so that you can even attach elastic training bands for performing resistance training on your SUP.

There are many groups that offer lessons and training for SUP fitness. These are great tools to use for those who are interested, but might be wary of starting on their own. Instructors will help you become familiar with exercises that you can perform on your SUP.

SUP Fishing

Many of our lives revolve on, in, or around the water. We constantly look for ways to incorporate everything we do with the water. Whether it's bringing our yoga and pilates classes to the water with stand up paddleboards (SUP), going for a run at the beach, or just enjoying a meal at your favorite waterfront restaurant.

Well, now you can enjoy fishing from your SUP. With the growth of SUP in the last five years, the boards have come a long way. There are boards for every occasion. Whether you're surfing, paddling in the creek behind your house, going for a nice down-winder, or looking to catch redfish in the creeks and on the flats, there is a board for you.

With so many boards out there, which one is the best? Well, for SUP-fishing we highly recommend Dragonfly Boatworks. Their unique design allows the angler to get into much skinnier water and all the stealth you need to sneak up on that tailing red you're hunting. With their shallow water fin you can reach places you've only dreamed about getting to. At 32" wide it provides plenty of stability once you hook up. SUP-fishing also allows the angler the advantage of spotting fish from further away than kayak anglers.

The Dragonfly's hull design is just another feature that separates it from other SUP-fishing boards. Their v-hull design allows the paddler to travel over distance with ease and cuts down on noise from water slapping against the bottom of the board.

So, if you're looking for the perfect way to combine your love of fishing and SUP-ing, look no more. Get on a Dragonfly and enjoy yourself.
