Learn how to get on the board, balance, the four phases of SUP stroke, crossbow and safety principals to be safe on the water and enjoy your experience to the maximum.
Learn to sprint, buoy turns, race starts and more!

One on One Stand Up Paddle Private Lesson
My experience was beyond! I had the best instructor ever, Aymee! She is not only extremely proficient but has all the kindness, caring and support a beginner needs! She went into excellent detail and instruction before we got onto the water and best of all she took a lot of videos of me and sent them to me to observe and learn from. And Manny woke up early just to come down and give me a special board I didn’t even know was for me! Looking forward to my next session soon! - 8/18/2021

if you're unsure whether or not to try it, just do it. make sure you pick a night that has decent weather. we had a perfect night with minimal clouds and a bright moon. it was beautiful.
fantastic experience all around. next time we're in miami we'll be doing this again. read less

We wanted to see wildlife, and he took us on a sunrise paddle out to an island where we saw an osprey and several ibis, and then across the bay to find manatees. We saw 7 altogether, including a couple of babies, and one that came up to us and popped out of the water to say hello, and continued to hang out with us! Manny was fun, helpful and knowledgable, and made this a wonderful day that I will always remember. I recommend calling before making a reservation to discuss exactly what you would like to see and do on your tour, so that Manny can customize it for you. Also, be sure to bring polarized sunglasses to help you see below the surface of the water. Thank you, Manny - we'll be back soon!!! read less

He talked with me at length when arranging the tour, to make sure it was customized to exactly what we wanted, and all his instructions were clear and thorough.
