Corporate team building SUP in Marina Del Rey is one of the most effective — and genuinely fun — ways to bring your team together in Los Angeles. In about two to three hours on the water, your group will communicate better, laugh together, and leave with a shared experience that no conference room exercise can replicate. Here’s exactly how to make it happen.
Step 1: Define Your Team’s Goals
Before booking your corporate team building SUP event, get clear on what you want your team to walk away with — better communication, a shared win, or simply a reset from the office grind. Knowing your goal helps us customize the session to deliver exactly that.
Step 2: Choose Your Group Size & Format
Our corporate team building SUP program accommodates groups of 8 or more at $65 per person, making it one of the most accessible and memorable group experiences in Los Angeles. Whether you’re bringing 10 colleagues or 50, we scale the session to keep everyone engaged and moving.
Step 3: Pick Your Location on the Water
We operate out of Marina del Rey — one of the most protected and beginner-friendly flat-water venues in all of Southern California. Mother’s Beach offers calm, glassy conditions that make first-time paddlers feel immediately comfortable, so no one gets left behind.
Step 4: Get Everyone on the Board
Our lead coach Tim Sanford and the Paddle Method team use a proven, baby-steps methodology developed over 15 years of coaching thousands of people of all abilities. Everyone — from the athletic to the cautious — gets on the board, finds their footing, and paddles with confidence.
Step 5: Run the Team Challenges
Once the group is moving, we layer in team-oriented challenges — synchronized paddling, navigation drills, and friendly group games that require communication, trust, and a little laughter. These aren’t gimmicks; they’re designed to reveal how your team actually works together.
Step 6: Debrief and Celebrate on the Water
The best team building moments happen when the adrenaline fades and people start talking. We close every corporate SUP session with a guided reflection moment on the water — a rare chance for your team to connect without the noise of the office. Then we celebrate.
