Yesterday was our SUP (StandUp Paddleboard) and Picnic Day at Idylwood Park on Lake Sammammish. We had a huge turnout of over 40 plus (adults and kids) and everyone who went out on a board successfully stood up and learned to paddle! Lessons and boards were provided by Logan and Jon of Stand Up Paddle Quest who had everything set up and ready for us when we arrived and then took groups of 8 out at a time for instruction and paddling for 40-50 minutes each. Thanks also to Jason and Kelly who brought a board with them and let some of us use it as well. The weather was perfect, the water warm, and the beach park just the right spot for kids and adults to play. It was a great experience and many of you came away with a new confidence in trying and learning new sports. (Note: If you went out yesterday you also now are eligible for a 10% discount on any future rentals from standuppaddlequest.com. They are mobile and bring the gear to you!)
