It seems like only three years ago that I first saw paddleboarders on the Outer Banks surfing waves in the ocean. Now I can find them on the James River?

Richmond BizSense’s Amy David checked in with Black Dog Paddle’s Bryan and Camille Smith:

The lazy days of tubing down the James are so 2010. An avid whitewater rafting guide and his wife have launched their own company to get Richmonders on their feet.

In January, Bryan Smith and wife Camille launched Black Dog Paddle, a Chesterfield-based company that offers stand-up paddleboard lessons, paddleboard rentals and environmental tours.

Black Dog is one the first companies in the area to offer the increasingly popular sport of stand-up paddleboarding.
