Summer isn’t over yet and if you’re searching for a unique way to hit the water, look no further than the Rockaway, where stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) is becoming increasingly popular.

Our “Mornings On 1” crew got the opportunity to try it out for themselves with instructor Hank Lewis, who runs Surf Skate Fitness.

Lewis, a former school teacher, provides instruction all summer long – and even into the early winter months for those brave enough to weather the cold – and offers a variety of options for those hoping to stand up and paddle.
