What is SUP?

SUP is short from Stand Up Paddling. It is an emerging global sport with a Hawaiian heritage. The sport is an ancient form of surfing, and reemerged as a way for surfing instructors to manage their large groups of students, as standing on the board gave them a higher viewpoint. This increased visibility of what was going on around them such as incoming swell. There are hints that the ancient pacific islanders already used boards to ride waves and move on the water. According to that SUP was an early conjunction of the traditional Polynesian disciplines canoeing and surfing. With the invention of lightweight shortboards into the surfing scene, SUP felt a bit into oblivion but has recently been rediscovered. The nice thing about a SUP is that you don’t need an ocean and waves, you can also go paddling in flat water on your local lake or river.

Paddleboarding on Anegada

A great area to paddleboard on Anegada is heading towards the right from Anegada Reef Hotel, towards Anegada Cottages (pictured above). You can venture out further to the point, where you will find some small (or big) waves to play around in. You will love it, the water is so amazingly clear. If you know what you are doing, you can also paddle around the reefs in the North, the SUP will give you an amazing view from above.

Paddleboard Rental

To our knowledge, there are no boards for rent on the island, so bring your own. You can also rent boards from SUP-StJohn.com on St. John, their rental policy allows you to take the boards to other islands or they can arrange for a charter trip over there on Rockhoppin’s 32 FS Regulator Powerboat.

Where does the name “Cow Wreck Beach” come from?

In the 1800s, a ship carrying cow bones (used at the time to make chalk and buttons) wrecked on the reef just offshore of a small sandy cove on the northwest coast of Anegada. For years afterwards these bones washed ashore and hence the cove became known as Cow Wreck Beach.

Horseshoe Reef on Anegada

The 18-mile-long Horseshoe Reef, the largest barrier coral reef in the Caribbean, and the third largest on earth.The reef has claimed hundreds of shipwrecks, including HMS Astraea (1808), the Donna Paula (1819), the MS Rocus (1929). As such, there is a lot to see, however, in an effort to protect the reef, the BVI government has made anchoring on Horseshoe Reef illegal.

Other reefs

There are many other reefs, for example in the North. The reefs tunnels, mazes and drops are awesome to explore. The water is amazingly clear and you will see needle fish, mojarra, stingrays, parrot fish and much more.

Most of Anegada’s roads are dirt/sand roads. When it is dry they are pretty good, but watch out for potholes. And don’t worry about getting lost, there is basically one street that runs around the whole island in a big circle, you cannot really get lost. Also the rental places will hand you a nice small map.
