About Outer Banks Paddleboard
Outer Banks Paddleboard — known locally as OBX SUP — is the premier stand-up paddleboard outfitter on the northern Outer Banks, offering SUP rentals, guided tours, lessons, and even SUP yoga sessions from multiple launch sites between Corolla and Hatteras Island. Founded in 2013, the company has quickly become the go-to resource for paddleboarding on the OBX, earning top ratings on TripAdvisor and a loyal base of repeat visitors who book their boards before they even arrive.
Rentals include inflatable and hardshell SUPs in a range of sizes to suit different body types and skill levels, along with kayak and surfboard rentals. Weekly rental packages with free delivery to your vacation home are the most popular option, letting you paddle whenever the mood strikes during your stay. Guided tours launch from calm-water spots on the Currituck Sound, Albemarle Sound, and various creeks and marshes, where guides lead groups through wildlife-rich habitats that are home to dolphins, sea turtles, ospreys, and herons. Beginner lessons cover paddling technique, water safety, and board handling in sheltered conditions before heading out on open water.
OBX SUP's standout offering is their SUP yoga program, which combines vinyasa-style yoga sequences with the gentle challenge of balancing on a paddleboard in calm sound waters — a unique experience you won't find at most beach destinations. The company's mobile operation means they meet you at the best launch point for the day's conditions rather than operating from a fixed dock, ensuring consistently good paddling. For anyone visiting the Outer Banks who wants to get on the water under their own power, OBX SUP is the specialist that makes it easy.
