Unlike canoes, waterbeds, and recliner-lined rafts, paddle boards are among the few ocean vehicles that people operate while upright. Stand up in recreational support with today’s Groupon: for $49, you get a two-hour introductory stand-up paddleboarding class from Long Island Stand-Up Paddle Boarding Co. in Great River (a $99 value). Sessions run seven days a week from 9 a.m.–2 p.m. and 4 p.m.–7:30 p.m.

Long Island Stand-Up Paddle Boarding Co. doles out oars and buoyant timber to transform horizontal swimmers into board-balancing vertical water-riders. Stand-up paddleboarding, or SUP, combines the wave-riding of surfing with the balancing of balancing. Today’s deal nets novices an intensive introduction to the sport, starting on the beach and moving waterward after the first 15 minutes. A friendly, experienced paddler guides groups of up to eight neophytes through SUP basics, touching on form, balance, and using Swedish fish to bribe octopi into giving the board a starting nudge. In addition to providing watery bonding and amphibious adventure, SUP strengthens musculature and its possessors with a thorough, unique, full-body workout. Sign up solo or enlist your favorite barbershop septet for a group jaunt through the paddle-friendly seas.
