If you stay current on hot recreation trends, you may already know that Stand Up Paddleboarding (SUP) has become North America’s favorite new aquatic sport. This thrilling adventure isn’t just for surfer dudes with sun-bleached hair! Folks of all ages are learning and loving SUP, so if your bucket list includes learning and mastering this activity, you’ll need an idyllic environment like Belize’s sheltered lagoons and the turquoise waters surrounding the Southern Barrier Reef to accomplish your wish.

Is mastering SUP hard? Not if one is trained by Island Expeditions SUP master Norm Hann (www.normhann.com). His enthusiasm is contagious, but it’s his expertise and great training techniques that impress most of all. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned paddle boarder eager to improve your skills, book the ultimate stand-up adventure with Hann or his personally trained and licensed Belizean guides through Island Expeditions at your earliest convenience.

Does age matter? Not a bit. They’ve taken seniors on SUP adventures and they have the times of their lives. Not up for anything that requires checking your health insurance to make sure accidents are covered? Don’t be silly. Norm Hann and his skilled staff never met a person they couldn’t train to paddle board safely and at any age, so expect to enjoy the ride of a lifetime and return home with stories sure to make friends and work colleagues envious.

Happily, the SUP experience is just one highlight of an Island Expeditions trip that introduces you to Belize’s most spectacular natural sites. Explore the Southwater Caye Marine Reserve, travel to uninhabited islands, majestic reefs (including the United Nations-designated World Heritage site, Belize’s Barrier Reef), and meet so many marine creatures in and about the places you visit, you’ll know how Jacques Cousteau felt every time he donned a scuba mask!

Will you be required to stay wet for your entire adventure? No way. Spend every night of your vacation tucked into a comfy bed at a variety of family-run lodges where you can opt to sleep in the hammock on your deck if that sweet island air is so delicious, sleeping inside isn’t an option!
