All of your gear is included, so no need to worry about that. Just bring a swimsuit and your sense of adventure, and get into the bay and onto the water.

Paddle at your leisure, and take as many breaks as you like

I didn’t get to enjoy this activity. I was having trouble getting the address and details for the meet up point. Let them know of the issues and didn’t get any response for any assistance. Prior or even after the time the activity was suppose to take place.

Amazing instructor and experience!

Very nice enjoyable experience for beginners. They let you go at your own pace, and they also make learning how to paddle board fun.

Challenging but fun

Rosio_A, Jul 2022

It was truly a challenge but with the guidance of the workers there I was able to stand up on the board after falling down in the water 2 times. Just a caution though there is a lot of rocks so wear water shoes.

Great sport/ great instructor

Jennifer_B, Apr 2022

Thanks for showing me/is a great new sport. Your instruction and patience with me was so helpful! We had so much fun and you built tons of Confidence.

Great day on the water in SD!

Erica_R, Apr 2022

Excellent experience! Full instruction on how to paddle board. All my friends felt safe and confident to give standing up a try! Book earlier on the day to avoid the winds on the ocean water. Instructor was super personable and a genuinely funny and down-to-earth dude! Definitely recommend!

Family Fun

Law, Jul 2021

Mike was great (early, prepared, and experienced). My family (2 adults and 2 children) and I have never been paddle boarding before and Mike took time to give us lessons making sure we were comfortable before heading out to the bay. My kids went out on their own! Everyone had a great time. The location was also great.

Response from Host, Oct 2021

So great to hear everyone enjoyed their paddle board lesson. You'll have to come out and join us again maybe for some kayaking or jet skis.
