This class focuses on building your skills to assess your environment and use techniques to get you that great SUP workout and get you back to your car keys when the wind picks up.

Prerequisite: Marina class

Here you will take the control skills and speed techniques you learned during the Marina and Wind lessons (1 and 2) and start timing your stroke with the Ocean waves.

Prerequisite: Wind class

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.

Keep an eye out for dolphins, they like to come say hello if they aren’t feeling shy. Paddle through kelp forests and check out the dramatic cliffs of the Malibu coast!

Prerequisite: Wind class

SUP surfing requires time, dedication and hard work and that's what we love about it plus it is one of the most things you will ever do. You'll be hooked after your first wave! Like everything we do at Paddle Method, we start slowly build muscle memory and build confidence - but this, when the time is right, is when we say, Charge!
