Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort and YOLO Board Featured on NBC's Today Show

Stand up paddleboard segment filmed at Sandestin

DESTIN, FL, May 29, 2012 /CNW/ - Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort was chosen as the feature location for a stand up paddleboard (SUP) segment, including YOLO Board Adventures. The segment airs today, May 29 during The Today Show's Kathie Lee and Hoda.

YOLO Board is a leading SUP brand that is aptly named for the lifestyle mantra, "You Only Live Once." The bi-coastal company manufactures a variety of boards suited to fit any paddler, from the recreational novice to the elite pro racer. Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort offers YOLO Board rentals, lessons, corporate and team building packages and seasonal community race events.

During the segment, NBC correspondent Sara Haines garnered the knowledge of SUP from YOLO Board co-founder, Jeff Archer, at the beach and in Sandestin's beautiful emerald waters on the Gulf of Mexico.   The waves were calm, and the water was crystal clear, the perfect formula for a great SUP experience.

Sandestin staff were delighted to host the NBC-TV team and to have YOLO Board and SUP featured.

The segment comes at a perfect time, with the opening of the YOLO Board Adventures at the Baytowne Marina in the Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort providing residents and resort guests the opportunity to experience the popular sport of SUP.

YOLO Board Adventures Baytowne offers a range of board rentals from the entry level YOLO Yak perfect for beginners to recreational and performance boards for more skilled paddlers.
