WELCOME TO SUP MONTANA, your no-nonsense guide to the whitewater paddleboarding in Big Sky Country.

This isn’t just about paddleboarding—it’s about connecting with Montana’s wild rivers and the dedicated people who ride them. We’re here to push you to make the most of your time on the water while your here, to stoke your fire for new adventures, and yeah, maybe give you a bit of entertainment along the way.

SUP Montana stands as a tribute to the jaw-dropping beauty and wildness of Montana, captured in the moments that matter most: charging down rapids, respecting the power of the river, and living for that next stretch of water. These stories and images? They’re the pulse of our paddling life, a lifestyle forged by the stoke and soul of those who take on these waters.

And listen—Montana’s rivers need more than just paddlers. They need defenders. There are private land projects threatening access to some of these waters, and the only way we can fight back is by making noise. The more of us that paddle, the stronger our voice when it comes time to protect these rivers from becoming something they’re not. A guidebook isn’t just a map of water; it’s a record of our commitment to the rivers and creeks that define this place.

The descriptions you’ll find here are just a starting point. We might never write about certain areas and the ones we do aren’t gospel because every river, every rapid, will speak to you differently. It’s your journey, your ride, and when you’re out there, it’s your life and the lives of your crew.

So treat every moment out there with the highest level of respect and intensity. The river doesn’t owe you anything. Earn every ride.
