SUP!


The lake is full of paddleboarders and we've been wanting to give it a shot, so we hit Scheels in Eden Prairie. It's bigger than the new Scheels in Lincoln and it features a life-size Paul Bunyan in the entrance.


We got an inflatable stand up paddle board (SUP) and it took us a good 20 minutes of effort and sweat to pump it up to 10 psi with the hand pump. It only weighs 17 lbs, but it's more than a handful to carry. We're still trying to work out what way is best to get it down to the lake. 

All three of us gave it a shot and had a good time. It's so much easier and more stable than when we tried in the gulf at Clearwater Beach. 

The day we got it, it was 96°. The entire following week, it was in the 70s.
