Paddleboard Opportunities
Paddleboard Primer
Been wanting to try Stand Up Paddleboarding but don't know where to start? Have you tried but have trouble standing up? Or you can’t go straight?
Join us for this introduction to basic principles that is specifically designed to empower those who have little or no experience. Start in the safe and protected water in the Langley marina while you learn how to stand up, balance, and efficiently paddle a SUP board. Once you are comfortable you'll head out to more open water to practice your new skills while enjoying views of the Cascade Mountains and spying wildlife. Falling off is part of paddle boarding, but we will teach you how to fall safely and how to get back, but be prepared to get wet!

Good Morning SUP! Tour
This tour is for those who are already comfortable on a paddle board. Mornings are best for SUPing because the winds are usually at their calmest and the water can be smooth as glass. On clear days, the water reflects the golden, eastern morning light and showcases the glory of the Cascade mountain range. Cloudy mornings are beautiful too, with the fog amplifying the morning birdsong and the rhythm of your paddle strokes. As always with SUPing there is a chance of getting wet so come prepared and ready to take in the beauty the PNW has to offer.
