Stand Up Paddle Board Classes
Covid-19 Update – PLEASE READ..
Salmon Bay Paddle is now open to individual and small group (5p max) people for SUP Basics 1 & 2. Local classes and tours only.
Private Beginning Classes Only for Phase 2. Deception Pass is a public group class as it’s easier to distance.
Paddling is a naturally distanced activity and great for much exercise and fresh air. All equipment is always cleaned.

Beginners start with Sup Basics 1 then progress to SUP Basics 2 before signing up for downwinding, Deception Pass and freighter surfing. If unsure of your skill level, contact me to discuss. *Rental gear available.
