This one-hour paddle is an affordable way to learn proper technique for stand-up paddle boarding, and a great way to enjoy the lake’s smoothest water. This tour/lesson is best done early morning at 8-9 am ideally, to ensure beginners get on the lake before the waves from power boats and wind make conditions more challenging. All instruction is individualized, meeting guests where they are, and progressing and pace that feels comfortable. The vast majority of guests progress from complete SUP novice to standing and paddling with confidence – and joy! – within the hour. Sitting or kneeling is also completely acceptable and also constitutes a successful paddleboard experience.
