Class - Beginner Stand Up Paddleboard - North Park

Learn how to stand up paddle board at North Park and enjoy gliding across the calm lake waters. This beginner-friendly class is perfect for anyone aged thirteen and older, with little to no prior paddleboarding experience. Staff and volunteer trip leaders will first introduce SUPs on land, showing basic techniques and tips for balance and paddling. Once on the water, participants practice these skills while enjoying the sights and sounds of the lake. The flatwater environment and absence of currents make North Park Lake ideal for new paddlers, offering a safe and relaxed setting for learning.

The class lasts approximately two hours, with about one to one point five hours spent on the water depending on group pace. Participants are encouraged to wear quick-drying clothes and comfortable shoes suitable for water activity. Personal SUPs are welcome but must be inspected for seaworthy condition before the class. Rental SUPs are available if needed. This experience allows participants to build confidence on the water, learn proper paddleboarding technique, and enjoy gentle exercise in a scenic outdoor setting while guided by experienced leaders.
