01 — On the water in half an hour
Stand Up Paddle Boarding
Paddleboarding is the fastest way to feel at home on the water — most people are standing and paddling within their first half hour. In the 30-minute tutorial we cover the paddle stroke, stance and balance, how to fall safely, and how to read the conditions before you head out.
Want more than the tutorial? Full SUP lessons run on request — call and we'll set one up around the tide and your schedule.
- Board, paddle, and leash included
- Rash guard on request — wetsuits in winter
- Taught at Sunsplash Park when conditions are calm
02 — When SUP runs
We read for calm before you paddle
BEST WINDOW — MORNING GLASS · LIGHT WIND · AROUND HIGH TIDE
SUP wants the opposite of a surf lesson: no waves. The best window is usually early morning around high tide, before the sea breeze fills in and while the water is still glass. We teach at Sunsplash Park when conditions are calm — and if the day reads wrong for beginners, we say so and pick a better time with you.
STANDING NOTE, NOT A FORECAST — RYAN CONFIRMS THE WINDOW WHEN YOU CALL.
