June Gloom and S.U.P. (Stand Up Paddleboard) Ventura Kiteboarding / Kitesurfing

Claim It! with Ventura Kiteboarding / Kitesurfing and SUP


June Gloom has arrived and we just can not seem to get an early clearing.
The Eddy, (counter clockwise cathedral spin of clouds) hangs over us daily.
Plenty of Phase 1 and Phase 2 lesson opportunities. Phase 3 requires a bit
more power from the wind. Next week we will be booked with our Phase 3
lessons. So contact us right away to reserve your day with Ventura Kiteboarding /
and Kite Surfing.

Ventura Kiteboarding contacted Mark "Ride-All" our 6'5 215Lb Team Rider
and decided to dedicate some low to non-wind days to SUPing.

We went to a locally well known beginner spot and had a blast. We stayed down-current
from the main break, about 10 surfers out. Our board of choice was a 10'6 Customcostco.
These boards are 20 plus lbs. and could "mow down" another water user. Until our SUP
game is tight, we will stay clear from others.

Standing above the water and paddling is super fun, and a good work-out. Tony G. a kiter and
SUP stand out (pun intended) states: "a total work-out from the tip of your toes to your chin".

We were working on standing on the board in a parallel stance paddling to catch waves and turn
to our stance to ride. With some effort and skill these boards can catch un-broken waves and the
rides can be much longer than a "crawler" (prone paddler).

We decided to start bringing SUP boards on the low wind days and eventually go SUKing,
pronounced like the U in sushi. Stand Up Kiting. This will put those "tweener" days into
play. Stay tuned...............
