Itinerary: | |||||||
Stand up paddle boarding (SUP) is one of the fastest growing sports. It is easy to learn and a lot of fun.
I'll spend some time teaching the basics of SUP before we get in the water. I'll also provide pointers and suggestions while we are underway. We will explorer a north west section of Carter lake, near Ellijay. There is lots of beautiful shore line we can investigate. We'll paddle for a while (determined by the group), and take a break. Then we'll paddle back to our launch point. We can hangout at the launch point for swimming, sunning, eating and more paddling. Bring whatever you want to eat and drink. Bring a camp stove if you want to cook anything. Don't send your payment to AOC. Each person will pay for their rental Saturday morning at the event. | |||||||
