    Paddle Method Paddle Parties!

    Gather your friends, family, or coworkers and dive into the iconic Southern California vibe with our Paddle Party SUP Experience—the group adventure you'll never forget! Whether you’re new to paddling or ready to level up, this is your chance to bond, splash, and relax in style.

    Why You’ll Love It

    🏄 Professional Coaches: Learn from expert instructors whether it’s your first time or you’re ready to level up your paddling skills.

    🎯 Quality Gear: We provide stable, high-quality boards and lightweight paddles, the same gear local pros use.

    🌴 Paddle & Chill: Relax under the shade of palm trees between paddle sessions—everyone can go at their own pace.

    🎲 Beach Games Included: Spike ball, bocce ball, paddle tennis, cornhole, and more—because the fun doesn’t stop at the water!

    📸 Insta-Worthy Memories: Photos are included so you can capture the adventure and share it with your crew.

    We include everything you need for paddle gear and expert instruction from our paddle board coaches! Along with best in the area boards and paddles (stable, light, and comfortable for all sizes).

    How It Works

    To keep things comfortable and fun for everyone, our paddle parties rotate groups on and off the water. This means half of your group will paddle first while the other half enjoys the beach, games, and shade—then you’ll swap! This way, everyone gets plenty of time on the water while still having a chance to relax, socialize, and enjoy the full experience.

    Here’s What People Are Saying!

    Great spot to learn, awesome instructor, good vibes, great price!

    I booked the 10:30 and no one else showed up, so i got my own private lesson. Instructor was great. I’m extremely out of shape and by the time the lesson was over I was standing up with confidence & able to scoot around the pond there pretty well. Had an absolute blast, price was the best I found and well worth it.

    Awesome sunset paddle

    Tim was really helpful and gave us some great paddling tips. We have SUPs at home and were lucky enough to get a group on our own so we did a lovely long paddle round the marina and almost all the way to the sea channel. Would use again for rental or the sunset tour.

    Amazing!

    We had the best of time with Tim! This was my second time and I brought my kids. He was fun and knew how to talk to kids but also educational and safe. Thank you Tim! We will be back!

    Jesse Bennett

    We Had a Great Time!

    It was an amazing experience! I am very grateful to the coach. Paddle boards are in excellent condition, you need to practice a little to feel confident. We saw the seals and had a lot of fun.

    Kate M.

    The Best Time!

    Tim is a great instructor, I had a very fun lesson today around the Marina and look forward to learning more as I get stronger and more comfortable on the board. Thanks Tim!

    Fitz C.

    Great Experience on the Water!

    Tim was a great teacher/coach and helped me get past newbie jitters to feeling more confident and strong on my board. He did this in just two lessons! Next time I visit MDR I’m def going to book him for another one.

    Steph B.

    Amazing Experience!

    I did a couple of courses with Tim while on holiday in Los Angeles, and he’s the most capable and amazing guy to teach paddle-boarding for beginners like me. Wholly recommended!

    Testimonials

     


    “I can not say enough good about Tim. From the first phone call to when we met him, he was kind and very laid back. Happy to help. My team were all first timers and he had great patience and made it fun. He engaged with us, raced with us, took us down the channel and laughed with us. We all had so much fun that we want to buy boards and start paddling. If you're in the area, Paddle Method is a must!”Shannon S
    “Great location and easy parking. Tim was a great instructor! Patient and super helpful. He always kept eyes on our group to make sure we were doing okay and to offer guidance, tips and encouragement. It was my first time paddling and I was glad I took the lesson. The dry land instruction before getting in the water was super helpful. Great gear and super chill operation! Thx Paddle Method!”Jojo B
    “Because my experience with Paddle Method was exceptional, I started a paddle board club at work and take my young adult clients every other week. My clients love the SUP club and have found that it is a great way to practice mindfulness, balance mind and body, and build mastery.”Jen M
