About

One of our most popular courses, Standup Paddleboard Foundations is a four-week workshop designed to help you take your paddling to the next level! Over the course of four weeks, we’ll introduce a variety of paddle strokes and skills designed to help you have the most control of (and fun on!) your board. Each week will focus on one or two skills which we will learn, practice and then apply on a group paddle. In addition to skills, we’ll also learn about the varying weather and marine conditions and how to determine if it is safe to paddle.

Over the course of 4 weeks, we'll learn:
The basics of paddleboarding, including paddling efficiently, powerfully, and safely.
How to paddle in differing wind conditions, including headwinds, tailwinds, and crosswinds.
How to read weather forecasts and respond to unexpected changes in conditions.
How to alter planned routes to maximize safety and enjoyment, or, if your route is set, how to use coastal topography, wind, and swell direction to reduce the risk of overexposure.

This course is designed to build your paddleboarding skills quickly by pushing you safely outside of your comfort zone. While it will build over the course of the 4 weeks, paddlers should expect to feel challenged by the skills practice, length, and conditions that we'll face during the course. Having said that, safety is always our top priority, so everything will be done with that in mind.

This course will launch from our Beverly Kiosk location at Independence Park on Lothrop Street in Beverly.
