FAQ’s

Not necessarily, but it is a possibility! We do recommend wearing clothing that can get wet. Our Basic SUP class is designed for all levels which means it’s totally okay if you would prefer to sit or kneel until you are comfortable standing!

Wear something you’re going to be comfortable in and can move around. Don’t wear anything you don’t want to get wet or dirty, we are outdoors! You can wear swimwear if you’d like, but do dress for the weather! In the early or late paddle seasons, it might be a colder start, so dress accordingly. We recommend clothes that will dry fast when wet as well.
