Fast growing in popularity, Stand Up Paddle surfing (or SUP’s) is a variation of surfing where the surfer uses a paddle to move through the water while standing on a surfboard. Derived from Polynesian roots, SUP is an excellent way to navigate the Keweenaw Peninsula’s inland lakes and protected areas within Copper Harbor.

Whether you’re a first time paddler or a SUP veteran, we’ll pair you with the proper board and gear to make sure you have a great adventure on the water.  Our SUP fleet is comprised of quality built, epoxy SUPs from the sport’s leading manufacturers — not low-end, foamy “softboards” boards common at beach resorts. Additionally, we pride ourselves on the fact that we sell most of our equipment at the end of each season, in turn reinvesting in new goods each year to ensure a high quality experience for our customers.

      • Lake Bailey, also known as “the donut lake” as seen above from Brockway Mountain, is 10 miles west of Copper Harbor.  This shallow and marshy lake is home to a variety waterfowl and is mostly undeveloped.  The island is publically owned is a good place for paddlers to have a picnic lunch.

These peaks are the two highest points in the Keweenaw, at 1550 feet and 1490 feet, respectively. Gratiot Lake is at 743 feet, while Lake Superior is at 602.
The nicest, most friendliest people work here who were over accommodating and helpful in regards where to paddle board, reserving a board and loving what they do. I instantly felt an awesome vibe the second I walked into the store. Over exceeded my expectations. Highly recommend this place to explore all of Copper Harbors hidden gems!
