At WARD'S ISLAND BEACH — TUESDAY AUGUST 16th, 3:15 - 5:30 pm
Stand up paddle surfing and stand up paddle boarding (SUP) are offshoots of surfing, originating in Hawaii. Unlike traditional surfing where the rider is sitting until a wave comes, stand up paddle boarders maintain an upright stance on their boards and use a paddle to propel themselves through the water.
There are various modes of stand up paddling, including flat water paddling for outdoor recreation, fitness, or sightseeing, racing on lakes, large rivers and canals, surfing on ocean waves, paddling in river rapids (whitewater SUP), SUP Yoga, and even fishing.
This introductory group class is specifically designed for those with little to no experience on the water, and for that reason it tends to be the best way to familiarize oneself with SUPing. In time other group packages will be available to give you a more in depth experience over a period of time. In this case, you will be matched with an experienced instructor who can see you progress over time. Your experience in the class includes board, paddle, PFD and a dry bag for valuables.
At Ward’s Island Beach you will learn stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) from professional instructors, and, if you wish, later play beach volleyball or just relax on the beach.
Class registration fee is $55, paid in advance. Full refund 7 days in advance of class; 20% cancellation fee more than 24 hours before class. No refund with less than 24 hours notice of cancellation. Rain date is Thursday August 18.
