Learn to Stand Up Paddleboard

Stand Up Paddlesurfing(SUP) Lessons - $50 per hour

Stand up paddle surfing is a relatively new watersport craze that has recently taken off in popularity, even though it has been around for ages. Stand up paddlesurf boards are basically over-sized surfboards or longboards. Generally, they are 10 feet long and above. Some are much longer. Essentially the larger the board, the more stable it is to stand on it. The only other piece of equipment that a rider needs is a paddle. A rider stands up straight on a paddlesurf board, and uses the paddle to propel them steadily accross the water's surface.

SUP Technique

When stand up paddlesurfing, a rider will stand shoulder width apart in the middle of the SUP. Position oneself squared up with board facing forwards, or as resident standup superstar Micah Sanders says it, "Toes to the nose". With the Air Padre SUP lesson plan, you can learn how to standup paddle board within one session. We have all the tips and tricks to make you a pro at stand up paddleboarding.
