Stand Up Paddle Boarding Coming to Cedar Creek Lake, Texas

PRLog (Press Release) - Mar. 8, 2013 - Don’s Port Marina ( http://donsportmarina.com ) and Rio SUP ( http://RioSUP.com ) announced an agreement that will bring Stand Up Paddle boarding to Cedar Creek Lake.  Under the agreement, Rio SUP will open a retail sales and board rental operation at Don’s Port Marina on the west side of Cedar Creek Lake in Tool, TX.  Don’s Port Marina has operated at Cedar Creek Lake since the 60’s, and continues to offer additional options for enjoying the water.  Rio opened its first operation at White Rock Lake in Dallas, TX April of 2012, and during its first year of operation has established itself as the premier SUP Board operation in Texas, and is now expanding with the opening of the second location.   The Stand Up Paddle operations will be added to the existing pontoon boat, ski boat, and PWC rental services, as well as full service boat and PWC repair, marine fuel service, slip rentals, and The Tiki Hut Bar & Grill, Cedar Creek Lake's only water-accessible restaurant.  

Stand Up Paddle boarding, or SUP, is the fastest growing outdoor sport in the world.  Using a canoe-like paddle and standing atop a larger version of a traditional surfboard, paddlers propel themselves through the water with side-to-side paddle strokes. Stand Up Paddling offers a core workout with a cadence much like swimming or cycling. Stand Up Paddling offers a low impact, recreational way to get in shape and enjoy nature while working your entire core. Rio SUP will provide Stand Up Paddle Board rentals every Friday afternoon through Sunday evening throughout the season as well as offer SUP board and paddle gear sales on-site.  Kelly Lefkowitz, Rio SUP’s CEO and Co-Founder commented, “We’re extremely excited to continue to introduce the SUP lifestyle to new friends across Texas and Cedar Creek Lake is a natural fit for our existing clientele, many of whom own lake houses and weekend out there.”

Don’s Port Marina management stated “We’re both excited about bringing Stand-Up Paddling to Cedar Creek Lake.  We’ve spent the winter getting everything prepared to have a great summer of 2013.  And this will be one more way our customers can enjoy the water during the summer months.”  Rio SUP will offer boards for rent and new boards for sale in the retail shop, as well as Stand Up Paddle events at Don’s Port Marina, including races, tours around the lake, and SUP fitness classes.
