CLASS DESCRIPTION
This 2 – 2.5-hour class teaches you the basics of stand-up paddling. We’ll spend the first 30 minutes on land demonstrating paddling technique followed by hands on practice. Next, we go over launching protocol and get on the water to work on strokes and board handling. While on the water we’ll also have a chance to enjoy a paddle along the waterfront and finally practice self-rescues.
Introductory SUP is offered most weekends at 8:30 am or 9 am (depending on time of year) at both Sea Trek locations (Alameda and Sausalito). Equipment (board, paddle, wetsuit, lifejacket) is included in the cost of the class. To reserve your spot today, register online by clicking the BOOK NOW button above or call (415) 332-8494.
