Onaqua Paddle School
teaches all ages, including kids, since we are open to anyone who can swim. In fact, notes that women seem to learn to balance on the boards a bit easier than most men. “We’ve taught many couples where the husband is a great surfer and the wife is just starting out. But on a SUP they are on an even playing field and the ladies just love it!
Catching waves is something that we also teach, but we recommend a basic surfing background before attempting to launch in to the line-up. “It’s important to know what you are doing if you are going for waves, especially in a crowded spot. These are huge boards and understanding how the manoeuvre in the surf is important for “Our instructors are both excellent surfers and paddlers, a pre-requisite to teaching this amazing sport.” So before paddling out to the surf, sign up for a package of SUP and Canoeing & Kayak lessons at Onaqua Paddle School.
