The Introduction to SUP course is designed as a short program emphasizing safety, enjoyment and skill acquisition for entry level individuals.  The course covers the basic skills of paddle boarding on flat, calm water, protected from wind, waves and outside boat traffic, with little to no current, and within swimming distance of shore.

The land-based part of the course covers elements in the following topics:

• Preparing to Depart
• Maneuvers
• Technical Knowledge
• Safety and Rescue

What to Wear and Bring

Please wear clothing that will offer protection from the sun.  Also, you will get wet.  Your choice of clothing should be appropriate.  Proper footwear is also very important.  Closed-toe water shoes or athletic shoes are required.  Please remember that your footwear will get wet.  Bring plenty of water, snacks and sunscreen.  We encourage an extra set of clothing for after the class.

We provide life jackets and personal signaling devices.
We do not provide the SUP or paddle.  You may bring your own SUP or rent one at the training location. You are more than welcome to use/bring your own SUP, life jacket and paddle.
