BRING YOUR WORKOUT TO THE WATER

Capital SUP was originally born from the idea of building a gym on the water experience. Founded in 2014 by three “paddlebros” Capital SUP owner Kevin and his two friends Brian Meyer (now owner of FloHome) and Chris “Goose” Norman wanted to bring their passion for FITNESS and love for paddling to the Annapolis community. 

What started in the historic Sarles and Petrini marinas, now the South Annapolis Yacht Centre in Eastport. They transformed their paddle shop into a gym. Leading early morning and evening bootcamp classes followed by a paddle. SUP yoga became a new favorite, and SUP bootcamps were full of burpees, lunges, pushups and more directly on the paddleboard. Capital SUP quickly grew into a full service premier paddle destination.

Now offering much more than just fitness, CapSUP has regular kayak and stand up paddleboard rentals, lessons, tours, events, and classes. With the goal of putting 1,000 people on the water they introduced paddling and fitness to 3,000 paddlers in their first season. They knew they were on to something!
