Learn to stand up paddle surf! Stand up paddling is for everyone- it's fun, an excellent workout and a great way to get out on the water. It's become my favorite way to surf and has changed the way I look at bodies of water- I now want to paddle them all!

I've taught students of all ages from gung-ho 13 year olds to fired up 71 year olds. Every student I've instructed has been successful and has left excited for more. If you've seen stand up paddling on television or in the magazines and have dreamed of doing it yourself - here's your chance! Come learn to stand up paddle with me this summer!

Stand Up Paddle Surf Lesson 1 Flat Water Paddling: This is lesson is an introduction to stand up paddling. Our goal is to provide you with the basic techniques needed to safely paddle a stand up board. You will leave the lesson with enough skills to confidently handle a future board of your own or rental equipment.

In this lesson you will learn correct stroke technique, how to turn the board using three different paddle strokes, foot placement and stance, and, importantly, how to self rescue. We will also discuss how to lift and transport the board without destroying your back or expensive paddle equipment. The lesson will culminate with a 2 - 4 mile paddle through the scenic Coronado Cays and San Diego back bay.

The entire lesson is conducted in calm, flat waters. It is important for new paddlers to begin in relatively tranquil conditions. These conditions allow us to focus on the important elements of board, paddle and stroke. As a beginner, you can never get enough flat water paddle time. The more you paddle the better you get!

Cost for Lesson 1 is $100/person, the lesson takes 1.5 hours to complete.

If you've got basic paddling skills and would like to rent a board and paddle I will deliver the equipment to either Glorietta Bay or Grand Caribe Beach in Coronado (flatwater) or Silver Strand State Beach (surf paddling) and pick it up at the end of the rental period. These boards are big and difficult to handle unless you've got a truck - let me take the hassle out of paddling. Rental with Delivery and Pickup is $60/3 hours, board and paddle. If you'd like for me to deliver the equipment to a different beach in San Diego there will be an additional charge.

Has anyone traveled with a 2 piece paddle as a 'carry on' item? I'm wondering if I can put it in the coat closet in the cabin of the plane. I'm sure it's too long to fit in the overhead.

Hey Leland- don't know the answer to that one- we drive down all of our boards, paddles and other equipment- try posting that question on the www.thestandupzone.com they may be able to help!
