Picture yourself gliding like a pro around the Santa Cruz Harbor.
Trudie has been teaching stand up paddling for 15 years. She loves to share with you the joy of SUP and how to paddle safely in the Santa Cruz Harbor.
First she will show you have to hold your paddle correctly, how to steer your SUP and importantly has to stop your SUP moving.
At the dock she will demonstrate how to get on and off the SUP, get you practicing the steering and maneuvering of the SUP and how to stop. Once you have practiced these skills she will taken you on a tour the Santa Cruz Harbor. We will glide past the O’Neill boats, see what happened to the harbor after the Tsunamis and point out harbor seals and seal lions. Sometimes we have sea otters and dolphins – but never sharks!!
