Private paddle board lesson on a top-of-the-line Race SUP
1 Hour : Land Demo + Paddle Time
In beautiful Liberty Station, San Diego behind the Courtyard Marriott Hotel. We are partnered with West Coast Paddle Sports that provides the paddle board rentals. Together we paddle down a very calm channel way that leads into a dead end where a private military dock is. The waterway is a no-wake zone for boaters and barely has boat traffic. We depart from a sandy beach but please be careful of the surrounding rocks and sharp oyster shells.
The paddle board experience can be solo, your friends, or family. We make our lessons "Private" so you get our ultimate attention out on the water.
Don't know how to swim? No problem! We will suit you up with a life jacket and you will wear a SUP leash around your ankle that will be attached to the board.
Your Instructor will take them of you while out on the water to see your technique and after the lesson will airdrop directly or sent end day in link for android.
You can bring your own if you want, but we suggest learning on our hard boards first.
We provide you with a US Coast Guard approved PFD that will wrap around your waist or you can wear one for more confidence.
A full chest PFD will be provided if you do not know how to swim.
