Paddleboarding, aka SUP (Stand-Up Paddleboard), saw a legendary boost during the Covid-19 lockdown in terms of usage and sales. If you were looking for a board during 2020, you likely had to wait months to receive the one you wanted. In Miami, the SUP craze is still here and strong in certain areas. The problem is that housing in Miami is known for having limited storage due to the vast number of high-rise buildings and houses not having basements.

Answer: Rent one.
