Paddleboard Surf Lesson

Once you are confident with your Paddleboard on flat water, you might want to add an exciting new dimension by taking your Paddleboard into the surf. This is a terrific experience and a real highlight.  It is essential that you have been trained in Paddleboard technique and surf etiquette before you paddle into a surf lineup.

In these Paddleboard lessons you will learn important safety skills, how to paddle out through small surf, enhanced turning skills, wave selection, positioning and surf etiquette. This is a great introduction to Paddleboard surfing, and without proper instruction SUP surfers can be a hazard not only to themselves but to other water users.
