All depends what a paddle boarder is looking for? For the newbie novice, probably good to stay away from this spot, just out beyond the rock jetty and swim lines at the beach, there.

For the sup paddler looking for some waves to ride, could be a good challenge to try riding the motorboat wakes, somewhat like an ocean wave. Two city lifeguards are seated on their tall beach seats there, while you paddle out and around the rock jetty, to the left, just beyond the swim line in that area that's very empty of motorboats.....just yards away from all the motorboat traffic in the very busy weirs channel.

For 8-quarters/hour in the parking meter there at the beach parking lot, it sure is a very convenient and scenic location to unload your sup and hit the water.

Hey there motor boater.......send me some waves ...... buddy! A symbiotic relationship ......omg!

'standup paddleboard wakesurf' ..... google that for other videos!

Unlike waterskiing or wakeboarding, an in-the-boat observer is probably(?) not legally required in New Hampshire for this paddle board activity what with no tow line in use towing the paddle boarder .... but, an observer certainly would be helpful.

My guess; the unseen motor boat is moving along at about five to ten mph, which is too slow to get the boat up on plane. This has got to be the safest water activity ever invented ...... in the world history of water ..... especially without a pfd?

So, how safe is this .... is it totally safe!

Here's my two cents; for the price of twenty five dollars/two hour rental. the www.divewinnipesaukee.com store in Wolfeboro seems like it may be the best value with an excellent location on the lake? As far as I can tell, they do not offer paddle board lessons, and just do rentals at a relatively low price compared to other paddleboard venues.

Would like to get some feedback on Winni Diver's paddleboard rentals in Wolfeboro?
