The Intro to Stand Up Paddling Lesson is for beginners and intermediate paddlers. Our qualified instructors will help you master the techniques to increase your confidence on the board. 

Unlike the SUP Express Lesson, the instructor is with you on the water for the duration of the lesson. You will experience developed skill level, increased speed, and you will improve your comfortability.  A few SUP tricks will be thrown in also.
