Mountainman staff gives Stand Up Paddle
instruction during an Old Forge Pond clinic.
Mountainman Outdoor Supply Company of Old Forge will sponsor an SUP Demo Day on Saturday, June 27 at the store’s Route 28 location from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and at the Old Forge Pond from 10 a.m to 4 p.m.
The event will include a race, clinics and free test paddling on what many feel is the most exciting new activity to hit paddlesports in decades.
The event is designed to introduce SUPs (Stand-Up-Paddleboards) to the Old Forge area.
Paddleboarding is a simple, easy-to-learn watersport that is also great full body workout.
A SUP is essentially an oversized surfboard that is specifically designed for use on either flatwater or surf. Almost anyone can learn to paddle a SUP, from kids to seniors.
“Stand Up Paddling is a great activity that has really taken off in the Adirondacks. It doesn’t take lot of extra gear, and it’s really simple to learn… it’s a great family activity,” said John Nemjo, Mountainman president.
The day-long event will feature activities for everyone in the family, no matter their level of experience on a SUP. There will be SUP industry experts on hand to answer questions and demonstrate the ease of the sport
