In this article we uncover our favorite places to SUP in Arizona. Use this list to plan your next trip to Southwest of the United States!
——————
To visitors of the United States Southwest, the landscape found there has a mystical aura to it. It has something to do with the heat. The abundant cacti. And the red rocky sand that flows over jutting mountains and bottomless valleys.
Over the years, Arizona has become a top destination for hikers, mountain bikers, and campers.
The wide-open landscape is perfect for these activities.
But hidden along the mountainous landscapes are bodies of water waiting to be explored on a SUP.
From rivers to lakes, the beauty seen when hiking along the mountainous ranges is amplified while standing atop your Atoll iSUP.
And while we wish we could cover every spot to paddle in this glorious state, we will instead point you to our top five favorite locations to inspire you to get out there and explore.
Let’s begin!
Lake Powel is known for its lively spring break celebrations and jet skiing fun. But it’s also the perfect spot for your iSUP.
Why?
The views. The mixture of white and red on the surrounding rocks make for a beautiful landscape to explore.
And the calm water.
Lake Powell is flat-water which means it is easy for beginners to head onto the lake with minimal problems.
We highly recommend staying at Lone Rock State Park for the duration of your visit. It is an accessible spot for RV’s, campers, vanlifers, and everything in between! Just head to the link and make your reservation today!
Bonus! In case you missed it, the Atoll crew went on a road trip to Lake Powell. You can read about our adventures HERE!
I believe we may have mentioned how Lake Powell was a spring breaker’s paradise. Well, for those who are in the know, you haven’t seen anything yet until you visit Lake Havasu.
Located on the western border of Arizona, Lake Havasu is a favorite spot for SUP in Arizona for people both living in California and Arizona. And it’s not difficult to see why.
Every year, hundreds of people make their way to its shores to participate in the vibrant boat life where parties are held. Drinking of adult beverages are enjoyed. And a great time is had all around!
For the paddling fanatic, don’t be intimidated by the boat traffic. Most people are there to have a relaxing time on the water and are cognizant of your presence.
We highly recommend a trip underneath the historic London Bridge for an interesting time on the water. A historical fact to note- the bridge was originally built in 1830 and crossed the River Thames in London. Over a hundred years later, the bridge was deconstructed and transported piece by piece to Lake Havasu City to be built again.
See a piece of history and enjoy time on the lake- all in a day’s fun at Lake Havasu!
Canyon Lake is a convenient spot for SUP in Arizona especially if you are traveling by plane and land in the lively city. It is located in the Phoenix area.
The lake itself sits within the Tonto Nationa Forest and is part of the Salt River chain. There are over 28 miles of beautiful shorelines to explore!
For launch points, there is a convenient one located in the Canyon Lake Marina Campground. This spot is great for adventurers as it offers plenty of sites to camp for the weekend. Or for an extended stay!
In addition, there are three recreation sites to launch from which include Acacia Picnic Site, the Palo Verde Recreation Site, and the Boulder Creek Recreation Site.
All three give you fantastic access to the beautiful Canyon Lake and will make your trip easy and unforgettable.
Our next stop for SUP in Arizona takes us westward once again but this time landing on the Nevada/Arizona border in Lake Mohave.
As the name suggests it is adjacent to the Mohave desert and is filled with spectacular views of the rugged landscape.
And that is the main reason for the suggestion to visit.
The crystal clear water bounces off the bright sandy desert walls making for a great place to explore and snap some amazing pictures.
There are plenty of places to camp- and we suggest that you do in order to take full advantage of the area.
These include Katherine Landing North Campground, Willow Beach Campground and RV, and Cottonwood Cove Campground.
Each has its unique locations but in the case of Willow Beach, you have a perfect launch point for your Atoll iSUP right outside your tent (or RV)!
Now is the perfect time to find some solitude in nature and at Lake Mohave, you have the opportunity to do just that.
Did we save the best for last when it comes to SUP in Arizona? You might say that.
But there is also a couple of additional reasons why we saved the Grand Canyon for last. You have to have experience and proper permits in order to paddle there.
If you don’t have years’ worth of paddling under your belt or the patience/time it takes to acquire permits to paddle there, we suggest heading to our other choices in Arizona first.
To obtain the correct permit you first must head HERE.
Before you even apply you first must be at least 18 years of age, have the required paddling experience, and enter a lottery which is only open for three weeks in February each year. Once it is closed you will be contacted through email with the results.
A Noncommercial Permit allows you to explore the mighty Colorado River for either 2-5 days or 12-25 days- choose wisely!
If you go the shorter route your launch point will be at Diamond Creek on the south rim of the canyon. If you’re a regular adventurer and choose the extended stay, then you will be launching from Lees Ferry, which is located in the northern area of the Grand Canyon, close to the Utah border.
At this point, you may be asking yourself, “Why go through all this trouble?”
The short answer is because of the experience! You’ll be one of the few people to paddle in the Colorado River with the Grand Canyon lurking overhead.
Directions to Grand Canyon National Park
There are so many places to paddle on our beautiful Mother Earth. But there are only a few that we believe are must-experience places. Arizona happens to be one of those.
The landscape is unlike any other you’re likely to find in the United States. And the waterways which are surprisingly abundant are steeped in natural beauty and unforgettable sights.
So, like always, we suggest you get out there. Adventure on. See the sights of the world. SUP in Arizona. And of course, if you have any questions or need any guidance, we’re here for you.
In this article, we unveil the best way to turn your SUP into a kayak! Including what accessories you need to be successful on the water.
——————
At Atoll, our mission is guided by a few core beliefs.
The first is rooted in adventure. We aspire to create the perfect vehicle to fuel your fun on the water no matter where life takes you.
Our second is freedom. With an iSUP you can pack up your board and take it wherever you go. Easily check it onto your plane for an overseas trip or throw it into your trunk as you hit the road searching for that perfect launch spot.
With these two ideas in mind, we wanted to make sure we were able to combine them both and bring you more flexibility as well.
To ensure that we are able to provide you with the best product with the most flexibility we added a few key accessories to our lineup to convert our fantastic SUP into a great kayak. This will give you the most flexibility to increase your freedom on the water and fuel your adventures wherever they may take you.
But how do you convert your SUP into a kayak to save you money on purchasing another expensive piece of equipment?
That’s what we are covering today! Let’s get to it.
The difference between a SUP and a kayak is quite obvious to most. On a SUP you stand while paddling and on a kayak, you sit.
If you’re just starting out, you may have noticed that you can sit on a SUP with no problems and still paddle. But after a while, it can be uncomfortable and a bit clumsy.
The first step in your conversion then should be with a purchase of our Atoll Boards Universal SUP Kayak Seat.
This easily adjustable and removable seat provides a comfortable backrest on your board for extended paddling sessions in the water. This padded paddleboard seat and backrest will keep the adventurer in you comfortable during those all-day water excursions. And it can even be transferred to other paddleboard brands given the correct D-ring configuration.
Once you have the seat, the process to attach is simple. Place the seat towards the middle of the board (where the handle is) and attach the appropriate straps to the D-rings in the front and back of the seat. Make sure to adjust the straps accordingly to make sure the backrest stays up properly.
Once the seat is properly in place, our next configuration is on the paddle.
If you are familiar with kayaks, you might know their paddles have two blades- one on each end to enhance the paddle stroke and propel you quickly through the water.
And of course, a SUP paddle only has one blade.
Now, we aren’t saying that you can’t paddle your kayak with a SUP paddle, but just know it can be a bit tiresome and clumsy especially if you are paddling distance.
That is why we have created the Atoll Kayak Paddle Adapter. This is the quickest and easiest way to convert your SUP paddle into the perfect kayak paddle.
All you have to do is detach the handle of your standard Atoll paddle and swap this on. The strong fit will give you a blade on either end of your paddle and allow you to propel yourself in the water with ease while sitting.
And as a bonus, this kayak paddle adapter will fit into your standard Atoll backpack and fit alongside your standard paddle for easy use during travel!
A new level of freedom.
Both of these accessories are cost-effective compared to purchasing a new kayak, easy to store and travel with, and will give you the flexibility to easily transform your Atoll iSUP into a fun kayak.
This is perfect for a treacherous time on the whitewater or for a leisurely paddle in a lake or the ocean. Or, if you have a friend who prefers paddling a kayak, you’re covered there as well.
As we stated earlier…
The Atoll team is primarily about adventure, freedom, and flexibility. And with the ability to transform your iSUP into a kayak, you can easily extend your adventures to places unknown and taste the freedom of flexibility to own both a kayak and SUP in one.
If you need help deciding if this is the route you should go, drop us a message HERE! We’d love to hear from you. In the meantime, keep adventuring on.
