Hala: Take Your Stand Up Paddle Boarding to the Next Level

Mastered the out-and-back lake trip? Time to try a one-way journey. Paddle down a river and discover new sights the whole way. Look for sections of mellow water that match your skill level; ideally walk the section first, looking for rapids and other hazards. Unlike with flatwater, it’s more likely you’ll end up in the water, so consider wearing a wet- or dry suit and, for more difficult or whitewater sections, a helmet.
