About
Your sup lesson & excursion on average is about 3 hours. Many paddle longer. Perfect for families, couple outings and more. Part of it will be guided & part of it you will explore on your own.
During the summer season, we recommend a weekday for your very first sup outing. There are less other vessels on the river then. From September 1st through Mid-March, the river is amazing! Very few other paddlers are on the river in these months.
No experience necessary! We start with an instructional – technique – practice – safety lesson.
Please wear comfortable swim clothing. Bring all drinks & food in non-disposable containers, no glass containers or alcoholic beverages. Include a protein snack, swim goggles, sunscreen, bug spray, beach towel, a change of dry clothes and waterproof camera (if desired). A small cooler will fit on the paddleboard.
Lessons begin off our dock on flat, calm water, located on Big Cypress Canal & continue on the river.
Children 10 and under generally do not have the upper body strength to paddleboard for a longer period of time. We recommend they ride on a paddleboard as a passenger at no cost. Parents know the ability of their child and how long they would remain engaged in paddling a SUP on their own.
