Stand Up Paddle (SUP) Boarding |
 Paddle boarding is one of the world’s fastest growing recreational water sports, it is a blend of paddling and surfing and is easy to learn for any age especially in Raglan harbour on the flat water here. It shares a common heritage to surfing and kayaking, but requires far less physical and technical ability, but offers the same enjoyment and fun. Paddle boarding also is a fantastic all over body work out, building your core and upper body muscle strength. All Stand Up paddle boards are supplied with leashes and if required rash vest and or life jackets. Lessons are provided by an ISA qualified coach, Surfing New Zealand approved SUP school.
Stand Up paddle boards, lessons and tours are available from Raglan Stand Up Paddleboarding

Raglan was my first stop out of Auckland with my newly purchased campervan. I loved my time in the area, and I didn’t even give surfing a go! I’m living on the West Coast now and have been missing the weather until the last couple weeks – we’ve had five straight days of 27+ weather. I will be back though!
Can you please send some info on Te Uku walking track or Trail.
