Book Basic NowBook Intro to SUPThe Marina lesson is best for first-timers and beginners who are over 14 (if you hike or ride a bike this is for you!) and want to learn how to paddle on their own in a marina and see the sea lions, and beautiful boats.

Sea Lion
There are three things every paddler needs to know to make the most of their water time in SOCal - paddling in crowded marinas, wind, and waves. Fortunately, we have broken it down step by step so you can get on the water, have fun, and feel more confident wherever you go.
- Lesson 1, Marina Maneuvers, covers how to create and control momentum
- Lesson 2 is technique for paddling in wind, boat wakes, and getting a real low impact workout
- Lesson 3 combines your speed and maneuverability so you can time your way through the waves and explore up and down the coast.
Sunset
Spectacular sunsets like you’ve never seen them before! Unwind, and enjoy a night on the water with your friends, a significant other or meet someone new! Cruise under the setting sun and then under the stars and experience the water from a whole new perspective!

This is what stand up paddle boarding is all about! You’ve taken your beginner SUP lessons in a marina, put in some hours on a sunset cruise or Paddle Method POWER PADDLE and now you are ready to get out on the ocean or bay and into some waves and see the world from a SUP point of view. You have earned it! This is what it’s all about and why we live to SUP.

My first paddle board lesson with Tim was easy and fun. He was very patient with and fun to spend time with. Now I’ve taken 5 lessons with Tim and I’m paddling like a Pro
I was really nervous to try stand up paddle boarding because I had never done it before, and I am not very athletic, but I received a terrific lesson and the instructors were very friendly, knowledgeable, non-judgmental, and super patient.
Tim is an awesome paddle board instructor. Although I have been paddle boarding for a while and I live and breathe the water, Tim’s techniques have helped me improve my paddle boarding tremendously. I am a much more efficient paddler now...
