And there's no better time than now to take advantage of your "Sportsman's Paradise" home state and get on the water.

Paddle boarding has become really popular in recent years, and it's no wonder. It's relatively easy, it's fun, and it's a good way to get some exercise.

Have no fear, because Subaru has accessories to help you fit a paddleboard in a Crosstrek near New Orleans LA. The surfboard/SUP carrier from Thule provides a secure fit thanks to steel-reinforced, heavy-duty webbing with weather resistant padding to protect your board while you're on the road. It can handle up to two boards up to 34-inches each, with no problems. And if you'd rather kayak or bike, accessories to accommodate either are also available.

There are an abundance of places to choose from in and around New Orleans. An outstanding spot is the Joe Madere Marsh in Bayou Sauvage over n New Orleans East. There's even a launch sit used exclusively for kayaks, canoes, and paddleboards. Of course Lake Pontchartrain is an excellent place to bring your paddleboard when the water's calm, with several places to launch from, including the Bonnebel Boat Launch, and the New Orleans Lakefront. And naturally, the Northshore comes to mind when thinking of outdoor fun.
