There is a reason this is our most popular tour – paddle, find out why. Our step-specific instruction makes the SUP touring session accessible for everyone. For seasoned paddle surfers and those who are a bit more comfortable in the water and think they’d like to learn, we can always tweak our instruction to ensure you’ll be up and riding on the wave that never ends.
