Imagine being able to glide past the seals on a big stable paddle board.
Our Intro to SUP Lesson will get you up and paddling like a pro in no time at all.
We start at the SUP Shack with how to hold the paddle, where to stand on the SUP and rules of the Santa Cruz Harbor. At our dock we teach you how to get on the SUP, steer, stop and stand up. After practicing these skills you will be able to spend the next hour on the water, safely paddling past the boats and harbor seals. This is a self guided tour around the Santa Cruz Harbor.
Stand Up Paddling is an easy water sport, the Santa Cruz Harbor has a requirement that all first time paddlers are taught the basics of SUP maneuvering. This is for your safety and also boater safety.
These are the skills that you will learn from the Intro to SUP Lesson.
Note : Children under 18 must be escorted by an adult.
