Safety and Orientation
We prioritize safety with friendly briefings, fitted gear, and local knowledge that builds confidence, covering route choices, wind, tides, and communication signals so every participant understands expectations, equipment limits, and how to respond calmly to changing conditions on the water.
Pre-Launch Safety Briefings
Before launching, we demonstrate proper PFD fit, paddle grip, entry techniques, and reboarding basics, then review right-of-way, local traffic patterns, and environmental hazards. We also explain wind effects, safe turning, and spacing, ensuring your group moves confidently and cooperatively while maintaining clear communication and visibility throughout.
Local Hazards and Etiquette
Our team highlights shallow zones, submerged structures, boat channels, and wildlife nesting areas, encouraging courteous sharing of waterways. You will learn where to cross, how to yield to larger vessels, the meaning of buoys, and best practices for minimizing wakes and noise while passing anglers and shoreline residents.
Equipment Checks and Fittings
We size PFDs, adjust footrests, and fine-tune seatbacks for ergonomic comfort, then inspect paddle length, blade orientation, and leash attachments. Staff verify hatches, bungees, and dry-bag seals, confirm radios or whistles for tours, and ensure every participant knows how to stow essentials within reach without compromising balance.
Lessons for Every Level
Progress quickly with structured instruction that blends technique, safety, and fun, offering tailored coaching for beginners through advanced paddlers, with clear skill objectives, video-assisted feedback when appropriate, and supportive pacing that turns small improvements into lasting confidence on open water.
- First-Time SUP Foundations Learn board handling on shore, then practice kneeling and standing transitions in protected water. We cover paddle length, blade angle, stance width, and bracing to prevent falls. By lesson end, you will steer confidently, make smooth turns, and self-rescue efficiently, setting a reliable foundation for independent explorations.
- Intermediate Kayak Skills Develop forward efficiency with torso rotation, experiment with edging, and refine sweep and draw strokes for precise boat control near docks or mangroves. We introduce ferrying techniques in gentle current and teach situational awareness, so you can choose lines wisely and maintain consistent speed over longer distances.
- Advanced Stroke and Rescue Clinic This clinic focuses on dynamic strokes, corrective maneuvers, and partner rescues, including T-rescues, heel hooks, and reentries in light chop. You will practice bracing strategies, low and high support, and risk assessment frameworks that help you preempt problems and maintain composure when conditions become challenging or variable.
