Fitness Lifestyle
Spreading our love of SUP
By: Jeremiah Doty
Our Mission Is To Spread Our Love Of SUP
Our Goal Is To Get As Many People On The Water As Possible!
We offer several different ways to “Get your feet wet” and step into the sport of Stand Up Paddling. We choose to utilize & retail high quality Red Paddle Co paddle boards because we want to represent the sport we love with the best possible products available.
Women’s Paddle Fit Classes
One of the most popular ways we encourage people to live a rewarding & fit lifestyle while incorporating paddle boarding is thru our amazing Women’s Paddle-Fit Classes! Co-Owner and licensed personal trainer, Michelle Doty, leads our Paddle-Fit Classes here at NW SUP & Fitness. Michelle is an amazingly compassionate and hard working trainer who truly wants to see people succeed.
Paddle-Fit Classes have been a huge hit for people of all fitness levels and paddle experience! No matter where you’re at in your fitness journey, we guarantee you will benefit both physically and mentally from your time on the water with Michelle.
Paddle Boarding alone can be a great full body workout, but combined with Michelle’s specialized Paddle-Fit routine it’s truly a fitness program on its own. We encourage you to “Think outside the GYM” and find fitness related hobbies you enjoy. And if that happens to be Paddle Boarding, you came to the right place!

One of our most popular SUP Tours is the “Lake Merwin One Lane Bridge” paddle. We launch from the One Lane Bridge onto the Lewis River section of Lake Merwin. From the launch we’ll be paddling up the Lewis River, turning onto Canyon Creek at the Merwin Dam Spillway and following the creek until it eventually reaches the lowest Canyon Creek Falls where we’ll stop for a rest & photo opportunity! Expect to see lots of bottom feeding fish and trout in the crystal clear waters of Canyon Creek, and if you’re lucky you might even see fish jumping up the falls. Deep forest and moss covered rocks line both sides of the river, as well as a few smaller waterfalls along the way. There are a few small pebble beaches that make for perfect paddle pit stops and family photo op’s. Keep your eyes open for wildlife! We’ve seen river otter, beaver, osprey, bald eagles, and even the occasional Tiger Muskie which can grow up to 4 feet long and have tiger-like stripes down their sides.
Group SUP Tour participants are eligible for up to 20% OFF the purchase of your own Stand Up Paddle Board!!*

Why Red Paddle Co Inflatable Paddle Boards?
I’ve been lucky enough to tour the Pacific Northwest and test paddle pretty much every major SUP Type & Brand on the market. I gotta say, the knock-off brand iSUP boards were a big disappointment, and were not even close to being comparable to any of my fiberglass paddle boards. They were about as stable as trying to stand on top of a pool toy!
Luckily, we were introduced to some folks on Red Paddle Company inflatables who offered us a chance to try their boards. I was instantly hooked! If you’ve been on the water much at all, I’m sure you’ve seen the low pressure inflatables that don’t hold their shape. Don’t let yourself be lured in by the low price of the department store inflatables, you get what you pay for. On that note, while Red Paddle inflatables are going to cost you more than a knock-off department store model, they are considerably cheaper than other inflatable boards of the same caliber.
In all the years of using Red Paddle Inflatable Paddle Boards in both our personal life and our professional SUP Fleet, we have never had any issues nor seen a better value for your dollar. Red Paddle Co is the clear choice for us
Of course I’m biased because I know you guys, but I really am impressed with your dedication to fitness as a life style and to educating others. Thank you!
Beyond that, it seems like few other outdoor activities can boast this combination of ease of entry for beginners, low (or no) impact, amazing scenery, and adventure.
My wife and I are planning to return to taking dance classes, but we may just have to give SUP a try.
The class was great! Thank you Michelle & Jeremiah, you guys rock!
