Group Lessons

90 Minutes starting at $90.00 Per Person

Learn to paddleboard on a beautiful desert lake in an area that is known for its calm protected water. No experience is necessary. Paddlers will be equipped with proper safety equipment, but must be able to swim and be comfortable on open water.

The lesson typically spends the first 15 minutes on dry land going over the equipment and paddling basics before launching.

Semi-private groups of two to six participants are a great way for family, friends or co-workers to get out on the water and try paddleboarding. Our group lessons include paddle board and gear. Whether you have experience on a paddleboard or first time paddler, our instructors work with each participant to make modifications to keep it challenging and fun!

Once paddlers have mastered the basics of SUP, we also provide group performance lessons that include drills to help increase speed and agility for performance paddling. Look for Skills Level I, II and III.
