(Lewis, Iowa) –  The Cass County Conservation Board will be holding “Stand Up Paddleboard” (SUP) demonstrations later this month. The public demonstrations will be held August 31st at 9-a.m. and 10:30-a.m., at Cold Springs Park- Beach, near Lewis. There is no charge to attend.

Officials say SUP is the fastest growing sport in the paddling community not only across the country, but in land-locked areas like Iowa, as well. It’s fun, healthy as a total body work-out, and offers a unique perspective when it comes to being on the water.

After a quick demonstration, you’ll have a chance to try out the boards for yourself. If you do not bring a life jacket one will be provided to you. Children must be 16 years or older. Paddlers must weigh LESS than 250 LBS.
