Why not challenge yourself to SUP at "Nagai Hyakushu Lake" this summer? In recent years, SUP has been attracting attention as a water leisure activity that anyone, regardless of age or gender, can enjoy. A guided SUP tour will also begin at our field, "Nagai Hyakushu Lake" in Nagai City, Yamagata Prefecture! This tour includes a complete set of SUP equipment and other rentals, so we are aiming for a tour that allows adults to return to their childhood, making it the perfect choice for those trying SUP for the first time. Tour Details and Application What is SUP "Stand Up Paddleboard"? SUP is an outdoor sport where you stand on a large, buoyant surfboard and paddle forward. The board used during the tour is a wide inflatable board (air-injected) that is 3,350mm long, 810mm wide, and 150mm thick. It is highly buoyant, stable, and has a low risk of injury for participants. ☆During the SUP experience, it is not guaranteed that you will "never fall = never get wet." Please participate thinking of it as a form of water play! Experience Field "Nagai Hyakushu Lake" "Nagai Hyakushu Lake" is the nickname for the dam lake formed by the Nagai Dam. Its greatest feature is the landscape surrounded by 360 degrees of mountains, making it a spectacular spot where you can enjoy changing scenery through the four seasons, such as fresh green leaves, autumn colors, and snowy landscapes. It is a place where you can spend a relaxing time wrapped in clear water and magnificent nature. Deep inside, there is a spectacular view of the "Mifuchi Gorge" that can only be worshipped from the lake surface, and many people visit the boat and canoe tours every year. *We will not go to Mifuchi Gorge during this tour.

SUP can be experienced on water, and in the natural world, the ocean, rivers, and lakes mainly come to mind. The point is that the way to enjoy it and the difficulty level differ depending on each field. ● Lake Difficulty: ★ A field we want to recommend to those who are "Trying SUP for the first time." Waves do not occur naturally, and there are few obstacles, so unexpected collisions or falling into the water are unlikely to occur. The vastness of "Nagai Hyakushu Lake" is also one of its features! We offer a luxurious time where you can monopolize the lake completely surrounded by nature♪ ● Ocean Difficulty: ★★ The field that many people think of when they hear SUP. The direction in which the waves rise is always constant, so it is relatively stable. Caution is required regarding the danger of being swept offshore without noticing. ● River Difficulty: ★★★ A field for experienced people. Because there is always a flow in a constant direction, the skill to control speed and direction is necessary. In particular, river SUP, which is dangerous but highly competitive, navigating down skillfully through muddy streams, is also popular. I want to try SUP, but I don't know how to start...
