Something Fun to do in Orlando

Looking for something fun to do in Orlando? Why not come try stand up paddleboarding with Ski World Orlando? SUP boarding is one of the newest crazes to overtake North America… and Australia, and South America, and even Southeast Asia. Paddle boarding can be done by yourself or with a group of your friends. You can even stand up paddle with complete strangers! People who enjoy standup paddleboarding thrive on outdoor activities and love being on the water. They usually have a great tan and get plenty of vitamin D because the body utilizes sunlight to produce that vitamin. SUP boarding is also fantastic exercise! If your stroke is properly dialed in, paddle boarding for an hour can be one of the best abdominal core workouts for your body. You don’t have to be an athlete to SUP board. In fact, our instructors at Ski World Orlando have taught many people who have never paddleboarded before! So, what is your excuse? Great exercise, a great tan, and a community of people looking to enjoy life out on the water… this is what we do in Florida - come join us! Ski World Orlando has paddleboard rentals available seven days a week and offer casual or private lessons for those looking to perfect their SUP technique. Give us a call to schedule your next rental or lesson!

East Coast Paddlesurfing Hurricane Joaquin

Did you see the wave report this morning?

Even more importantly, did you play hooky from work to catch some waves?

You were in for a treat - like ice cream with sprinkles, whip cream, and a cherry on top - if you joined the ranks of paddlesurf riders in the lineup this morning. Long, workable waves spilled in with every set and the chop wasn't any worse than a splashing two year old in a bathtub. If you didn't make it out with your SUP surfboard this morning, you missed out on a great day despite the overcast.

Paddlesurfers will brag about the number of waves they catch in contrast to regular surfers; even longboarders fall short in wave count. The use of a paddle allows for more initial torque while attempting to catch waves. In addition, there is no drag or delay in the popping-up process - you are already standing on a paddleboard!

Paddlesurfing with Style of the Coast of Florida

If you haven't had a chance to try this amazing sport or are simply feeling your wave count isn't high enough, come see us at Ski World Orlando across from beautiful Lake Ivanhoe. Our staff are very knowledgeable in the sport and can match you with the correct board regardless if you are a first time paddleboarder or seeking the next ultimate SUP surfboard to add to your quill.

We carry paddleboard surfboards, or Paddlesurfboard's from 404, Bark, BOTE, Cruze, Lokahi, Michael Dolsey, NSP, Surftech, Triple X, Vesl, and Watersedge. Hope to see you in the waves soon!

Above The Wake Autism Awareness Event at Lake Ivanhoe

Above The Wake is a non-profit organization that introduces Autistic children, teenagers, and adults to a safe and interactive environment where they can participate in water-sport activities. Above The Wake invites families affected by Autism to the charitable events that provide coaching and encouragement for paddleboarding along with numerous boating activities such as being towed on a tube and riding ZUP Boards.  Above The Wake's mission is, "To create positive experiences on the water for children with Autism and cognitive delays, break down stigmas, and unleash potential for greatness through individual, teachable moments".

Tom Hart, CEO of Above The Wake, founded the non-profit to create awareness about Autism and the associated struggles with the disease. One of the major difficulties that face families affected by Autism is garnering support from local communities to help encourage healthy activities with with Autistic public. Initially, Tom purchased paddleboard's in his hometown in Michigan where he hosted the first Above The Wake event. He also used his own personal boat to teach lessons on the ZUP Board. The event success provided foundation for his organization to continue developing events for years to come.

This year, Tom and his Above the Wake crew, partnered with Ski World Orlando to host fifteen families on Lake Ivanhoe overlooking beautiful downtown Orlando. The University of Florida Gator Wakeboard Team came from Gainesville as support staff for the event by give the kids paddleboard lessons as well as rides on two jetskis. Ski World Orlando sponsored the event with paddleboard's and a Mastercraft boat to help Tom teach ZUP Board lessons and even take a few adventurous kids on a fun tube ride.

Above The Wake's Mission is Expressed in This Picture

The smiles that day from the children, parent's, and supporters were simply priceless. The Orlando local's also came out to support the event cheering on each child as they passed the dock. The Above The Wake event concluded with raffle prizes donated from various supporters including autographed pro rider boards.

Above The Wake and Ski World Orlando will be hosting another event in April 2016, and would love for you to help! If you have interest in helping make next year's Above The Wake Autism Event even bigger, jump over to our contact page and send us a message on how you will like to help, or even questions on how to donate.  Hopefully, you will be in pictures from the next event alongside these wonderful kids.

Orlando's Mayor Buddy Dyer Paddleboard's for Opening Ceremony of New Paddleboard Dock on Lake Ivanhoe

Mayor Buddy Dyer toted his BOTE paddleboard that he purchased at Ski World Orlando over 5 years ago, down the ramp of the new paddleboard dock on Lake Ivanhoe with his dog Sammie in July for the official opening.

TV and other media came to document the opening ceremony.

A great looking dock was well deserved for the Lake Ivanhoe Community.

Try Before You Buy Policy of Paddleboards at Ski World Orlando

Interested in a paddleboard, but don't know what to buy?
With the largest selection of paddleboards in Orlando, sometimes it may be hard to choose the right one for you, your boyfriend/girlfriend, wife, husband, kids, or even the entire family.

Largest Selection of Paddleboards in Orlando

Our experienced sales staff can help you find the perfect board just for you, not your neighbor. We do not want you to buy a board just because it looks cool. Make sure that you are getting one that you will love for years!

Our quality boards start at $699 with a free paddle (while supplies last.)
Cobian, Bote, WatersEdge, VESL, NSP, 404 and other great paddleboard manufactures are definitely going to have amazing shapes and the coolest graphics, but just expect to pay a tiny bit more for name brand boards. They are also more durable which means dings and dents and dropped boards do not need to be repaired as much.

If you are seriously torn between 2 boards and want to compare them on the water.....one of our friendly staff members will assist you in carrying the boards across the street to Lake Ivanhoe where you can try the boards before you buy one....or both if you love them both.
