Stand Up Paddle Board and Kayaking Lessons
Explore the waters of Puget Sound with Surf Ballard.
Surf Ballard offers both stand up paddle and kayak lessons where you can learn the basics while exploring the Puget Sound. Lessons are perfect for anyone looking for hands-on, step-by-step instruction when it comes to getting on the water. We’ll show you how to stand on the board and perform basic paddle strokes while learning about tides and currents, wind, and safety.
Each two-hour excursion around Shilshole includes a SUP board or kayak, paddle, PFD, and plenty of fun.
Lessons are a great way to spend a date night, celebrate a birthday, or show guests our bay that is teeming with marine life.
Private lessons are $100 for one person.
2 or more people are $85 each.
Wear clothing that can get wet. A swimsuit or board shorts and water shoes are ideal. Hats and sunglasses are optional; sunscreen shouldn’t be. If the weather is chilly you may want to add a raincoat.
Please give at least 24 hours notice for cancellations and Surf Ballard will refund or reschedule your lesson. Rain won’t stop us from holding lessons but winds over 12kt will.
