Kings Beach, the recent site of the Ta-hoe Nalu Stand-up Paddle Classic, is a favorite local spot. Set against a vibrant blend of colors, flavors, and textures, it’s the epitome of a laid-back Sierra Nevada mountain/beach town. Located on the north side of Lake Tahoe in Northern California, it’s also affectionately known as the north shore’s banana belt because of its extended sun exposure. The beautifully long and wide white sandy beach is also a fabulous place to launch your stand-up paddle board. And if SUP isn’t the only thing on the agenda, check out the assortment of activities like kayaking, jet ski, water bike, paddle boat, and parasailing that make this a popular family getaway.


Lake Tahoe is the largest alpine freshwater lake, measuring 22 miles long by 12 miles wide, and boasts 72 miles of sprawling shoreline for your paddling pleasure. Standing at 6,225 feet in elevation, summer temperatures range from a comfortable 72-85 degrees. Looking to rent a board, take a lesson or pick up some SUP gear? Tahoe Paddle & Oar is located right across the street. Just ask for Phil and he will take care of all your stand-up paddle needs.
