HISTORY The City of Fort Lauderdale is named for a Second Seminole War fortification built on the banks of the New River in 1838. That year, Major William Lauderdale led a detachment of Tennessee Volunteers south along the east coast of Florida to capture Seminole agricultural lands and battle the elusive Indian warriors. Altogether, three forts named after Major Lauderdale would be constructed: the first at the fork of New River; the second at Tarpon Bend; and the largest on the beach at the site of Bahia Mar. None of the forts survive today. Incorporated on March 27, 1911, encompassing approximately 36 square miles with an estimated population of 186,220, Fort Lauderdale is the largest of Broward County's 31 municipalities and one of the ten largest cities in Florida.

Our original Tour was created over 10 years ago to complement the 1st Biorock Project in the USA: The Biorock Project utilized a low-level electric current from 2 solar-powered buoys to help corals grow much faster than they would in a natural environment while also helping to create vital new underwater habitat for tropical fish, corals, and other species. Unfortunately the project was abandoned, but thanks to our loyal Guides we have evolved and continued showing off the rich history and beauty of this awesome reef system.

If you’re wondering why someone would choose to do yoga on a wobbly surface like a stand-up paddle board, you’re not alone. Let's start with the wobbly thinking: Our boards are built to be stable making it Fun and Easy to Learn How to "Stand Up" on a Paddle Board. Once you give it a try, doing yoga on a paddle board is not as hard as it looks, and it even offers opportunities that a land-based practice doesn’t. SUP yoga can be a delightful way to experience nature and invigorate your yoga practice!

We offer Private Classes by advanced reservations or you can join Coastal Yoga & Nutrition at Sunrise Paddleboards for a Sunday Funday! We’re proud to share our practice and teachings with you in a way that is creative, nurturing, challenging, and most importantly super fun! Challenge your balance and mind floating on a paddle board! Closing our practice with a serene floating shavasana, which aims to guide you into a deep meditative state. Our favorite part!

Get inspired with your postures while floating on the water: Downward Facing Dog, Plank, Chataranga, Up Dog, or drop your head and see the river upside down in your best headstand. As you attempt more challenging balancing postures, you will begin to add a whole new element of core strength, single-pointed concentration, and intense focus.

Sunrise Paddleboards neighbors the delicious Myapapaya, feel free to indulge in some yummy and healthy food after class! With the fresh breeze, beautiful palms, iguana, nature, and tropical birds this will be a true feeling of heaven on earth and bring you to a new level of mind, body, and spirit.

The 7 Mile is an awesome way to spend a half day or build your endurance and challenge yourself to fast-paced work out or race training. A casual pace typically takes 3.5 hours and a fast pace can be done in less than 2 hours. The 7 Mile Route is a Full Loop around Island City combining scenic landscaping from both the North and South Forks of the Middle River. This can be done as a Rental or a Guided Tour:

Sunrise Paddleboard Guides twist and turn thru Wilton Manor Landscapes and Ecological Mangroves on this adventurous Journey around “Island City” incorporated in 1947. It is bordered on the north by the North Fork of the Middle River and the city of Oakland Park; to the south, the boundaries include the South Fork of the Middle River and the city of Fort Lauderdale; the westernmost boundary reaches I-95; and the eastern terminus of the city limits extend to Federal Highway (US 1) and the Sunrise Paddleboard Showroom.

Our Journey will start from our Middle River Showroom conveniently located on Federal Highway. We have free parking and a healthy restaurant next door featuring Smoothies, Salads, and Sandwiches made with healthy local fruits and vegetables. A quick Video is available for Mental Preparation (Just Ask). If Guided, your Instructor will start off with some quick pointers and launch you into the Knee Position. Once you establish you're able to steer and control the direction of the board; then you will be ready to Stand Up.
