About This Adventure

About

Today’s latest surf craze is stand up paddleboards! Do you want to try Standup Paddleboarding? Get out on the water and have some fun!

Experience gliding on the water’s surface using a large long board built for stability.

You propel yourself with what is essentially a long canoe paddle and you are off – this is as close as it gets to “walking on water”. If you’ve ever wanted to try your hand at this up and coming sport, we have you covered!

Whether you want a rental or a lesson, we have the equipment and instructors to get you out on the water. No matter if you are young or old, Standup Paddleboarding is a sport anyone can enjoy! Please wear clothes that you don't mind getting wet as we have reduced our touch-points for sanitation purposes.
