LAKEPORT, Calif. – Jobe Watersports is bringing the fun of stand up paddle boarding to Clear Lake on Aug. 15 in Lakeport.

Jobe Watersports recently announced the details of its “SUP 2 The People” demo tour.

The tour launched on July 17 and includes stops in Colorado, California, Nevada, Utah, Idaho, Washington and Oregon before finishing on Aug. 21 in Santa Barbara, Calif.

The Netherlands-based company makes stand up paddleboards, wakeboards, water skis, wetsuits, life jackets and other watersports gear.

Visitors at each of the tour’s 25 stops will have the chance to try Jobe stand up paddleboards (SUPs) and experience products from tour co-sponsors Johnnie-O clothing, Bai Beverages, Eagle Eyes, CLIF Bar, JoFit, Eagles Nest Outfitters, GU Energy Gel and Rockview Farms.

The tour is scheduled to be in Lake County on Monday, Aug. 15, from 2 to 6 p.m. at Library Park’s Third Street Boat Launch in Lakeport.

Numerous Jobe stand up paddle boards and gear will be available for free tryouts.

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.’”

Martin and Newton will share their experiences through Jobe’s social media channels, including @jobewatersports on Twitter, @jobesup on Instagram, Jobe SUP on Facebook and JobeSports  on Snapchat.
