Stand up paddleboarding (SUPing) is Utah’s latest recreation craze and appears similar to surfing, but is done with a paddle in a lake or river. You can try it with Utah Paddle Surfing for free at the Earthwell Festival from August 25-26 at Jordanelle Reservoir’s Beach Pavillion. They’ll be offering free paddleboard demos and fitness classes to teach you how. Then you can use your freshly-acquired skills at the Channel Challenge on Saturday, which pairs members of the media with the public for an on-water obstacle course relay. Sunday’s Parade of Pups invites you to enter your four-legged friend in a paddleboard dog show with races and relays. A fun weekend for your whole family! utahpaddlesurfing.com
