About This Adventure
Experience the thrill of stand up paddle boarding as you venture into the ocean or bay, navigating waves and exploring stunning kelp forests and dramatic cliffs. Keep an eye out for friendly dolphins while enjoying a private lesson with friends or family, making unforgettable memories together in this unique aquatic adventure.
This is what stand up paddle boarding is all about! You’ve taken your beginner SUP lessons in a marina, put in some hours on a sunset cruise or Paddle Method Workout and now you are ready to get out on the ocean or bay and into some waves and see the world from a SUP point of view. You have earned it! This is what it’s all about and why we live to SUP.
Keep an eye out for dolphins, they like to come say hello if they aren’t feeling shy. Paddle through kelp forests and check out the dramatic cliffs of Paradise Cove!
You can schedule a private SUP lesson just for yourself or with a small group of friends or family members. It’s great fun to take a lesson with your kids, friends or with your significant other!
