STAND UP PADDLE BOARD LESSONS

ensure each student receives one-on-one attention in a controlled
and safety conscious environment.

We strive to provide quality gear and safety conscious
instructors. Water sports, however, as well as many other sports
have inherent risks. Due to these risks we ask that you read, accept
and sign a waiver, which we will provide prior to the lesson, or
you may view and print our waiver.
Lessons are subject to change without prior notice.
Additional or custom lessons will be added upon request when possible.
We hold our lessons “Rain

Up Paddle Boarding Basics
$49 (+ tax) per student |
SUP is a new perspective on exploring our waterways.
It’s also a great way to get a full body workout. Our
two hour basics session will take place on the Farmington
River behind our shop. We’ll cover all the basics; getting
familiar with equipment, water entry and balance, proper stance
and positioning on the board, efficient paddling technique,
and safety and etiquette. This is a sport that can be enjoyed
in both calm, flat water as well as taken to the next level
in the surf!

Up Paddle Board Yoga
$49 (+ tax) per student |
Yoga on a stand up paddle board goes together
like happiness and sunshine. Doing yoga on the paddle board
simply enhances your yoga workout. The board on the water
requires enough extra balance to invigorate your yoga practice.
The gentle rocking of the water only improves the experience.
This is unlike any yoga experience you will ever have. Get
in touch with your body and nature in this 2 hour class.
Work at your own level and progress as you create a connection
between water and board. Wear water gear, hats, maybe sunscreen.
No previous SUP experience is necessary.
