PASADENA >> Jobe Watersports’ “SUP 2 The People” demo tour arrives in Lakeport on Monday, Aug. 15 at Library Park from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m.
The tour launched on July 17, in Colorado, Calif. It included stops in California, Nevada, Utah, Idaho, Washington and Oregon before finishing on August 21 in Santa Barbara.
Visitors at the event will have the chance to try Jobe stand up paddleboards (SUPs) and experience products from tour co-sponsors Johnnie-O clothing, Bai Natural Drink, Eagle Eyes, CLIF Bar, JoFit, Eagles Nest Outfitters, GU Energy Gel and Rockview Farms.
Local SUP groups, paddling clubs and dealers will support nearly all of the tour’s stops.
“We want to get more people on the water,” said Maud Broekmeulen, marketing manager for Jobe Watersports. “Whether they’re trying the sport for the first time, or trying out the latest technology, we want them out there having fun.”
Two Jobe brand ambassadors, Stephanie Lynn Martin and Taylor Reed Newton, will lead the tour. Martin and Newton were selected as part of a contest leading up to the tour.
“Spending the summer introducing people to a sport I love is a dream come true,” said Newton. “Add in the chance to see some of the most beautiful places in the country, and it’s hard to imagine a better summer ‘job.’”
