Intro to Paddling

This beginner friendly stand up paddleboarding class is designed for ages twelve and above who want to learn correct paddling technique in a safe and supportive environment. The session begins with an introduction to essential safety guidelines followed by clear instruction on how to stand balance and move efficiently on the board. You will learn the forward stroke along with simple methods to stop and turn confidently while staying relaxed on the water. Lifejackets are available for participants who are not confident swimmers.

Morning conditions offer calm waters and light winds creating an ideal setting for learning and enjoyment. The peaceful environment also gives a great chance to spot turtles while paddling. This class is perfect for first time paddlers and can easily be combined with a later paddleboard yoga session for a complete water experience. Timely arrival is important as late arrivals cannot be accommodated once the class has started.
