Standup paddle boarding lessons consist of the Standup 101, Standup Intermediate, and Standup Advanced Lessons.
Standup 101 $60-
This particular lesson is for those who are new to the world of Paddleboarding and Surfing. Standup 101 begins with a warm up session on the shore designed to target the major muscle groups utilized while paddling. After thoroughly warming up, students learn the proper stance to ensure the most stability. From there, emphasis is placed on the three main paddle strokes necessary to be a successful paddler. Students will also learn to look out for environmental
conditions: wind, water, and current direction, that could impact a paddler in a race or in wave-riding situations. After practicing both paddle strokes and proper stance, the student will begin their journey into the surf world on their knees, where they will demonstrate understanding of proper paddling techniques before finally standing up. A short paddle is then taken to ensure proper technique. Paddle boarding 101 lasts approximately 2 hours.
Standup Intermediate $60-
The intermediate lesson picks up where Stand up
101 left off. Paddlers will perform a similar warm up session as experienced in Standup 101 with more emphasis on strength training in the back and shoulders. Proper paddling and stance techniques will be reviewed thoroughly by the instructor with the students practicing onshore. This additional practice will enhance the paddlers' muscle memory.
After the paddler's strengths have been discussed, the student will again enter the flat water to continue practicing stance and paddle strokes. Several drills will be performed and can be made into a great aerobic workout at the student's discretion. After evidence that the proper paddling and stance techniques have been mastered, the student will then be taken into the ocean (weather permitting) to take on the waves. Standup Intermediate lasts approximately 2 hours.
Standup Advanced $70-
This lesson is to introduce those who have never surfed into the world of stand up paddlesurfing. This lesson is very dependent on the weather and therefore will be mainly available for those who have completed Standup 101 and Standup Intermediate and are interested in a surf retreat- Advanced Standup is usually taught over the course of a day. Standup Advanced lasts approximately 2 to 3 hours.
Standup Paddleboard Sessions and events $25-50-
Paddlers may also join in for a session. Sessions include light instruction at the discretion of the paddler. Sessions usually consist of a 2 or 3 hour destination paddle.
Whether to a restaurant for lunch, a park for a picnic, scavenger hunt, rum run or day out on the reef, sessions are a great way to practice and also to meet other local paddlers! As always... the more the merrier! Possible sessions dates and times are included on our meetup website- private sessions may also be scheduled with a $10 deposit.
Lessons and Sessions both include all equipment necessary for a great day of Standup Paddleboarding!!
