DESTIN – Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort introduced YOLO Board Stand Up Paddleboards at Baytowne Marina.
This announcement comes as a result of an agreement with Sandestin and Santa Rosa Beach-based YOLO Board LLC., a leading hybrid-style stand-up paddle board company, to offer rentals, Paddle Fit classes and group events at the resort.
Paddle boarding, or ‘YOLOing’ as many people like to call it, offers a completely different way to experience the water, for a leisure paddle or enjoyable workout. Using a canoe-like paddle and standing atop a larger version of a traditional longboard surfboard, paddlers push themselves through the water with side to side strokes. YOLO Board’s newest board, the YOLO Yak – the first-of-its-kind hybrid stand-up paddleboard/kayak – will offer paddlers even more stability to cruise. Some people even compare the experience to “yoga on water.”
At Sandestin, YOLO Boards will be available for rent by the hour, half day or day at very affordable prices staring at $25. In addition, popular Paddle Fit classes will be offered beginning this summer. For additional information, contact 850/622-5760.
According to Jeff Archer and Tom Losee, co-founders of YOLO Board, in a press releases, “We’re confident that thousands of people will learn to love this new sport by having it available at Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort.”
YOLO Board will hold the 2009 YOLO Board Stand-Up Paddle Series this summer, with the third stop of the five part series being held at Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort on Friday, June 19.
