Lessons are the perfect way for novices to get started. All of our lessons are tours. They are about one hour beginning with a quick land lesson to familiarize all students with the mechanics of paddling. We head out to the water to fine tune and practice paddling skills while we tour the pristine waters of the bays around us!. Take as many lessons as you’d like till you “graduate” to our Fitness class, SUP Clinics and Adventure Paddles, which are best for experienced paddlers.

We always recommend wearing a bathing suit or any kind of quick dry athletic clothes and flip flops. Bring a hat, croakie (for sunglasses) and have your sunscreen already applied. We sell sun shirts, croakies and hats and sunglasses. Leave your valuable watches, jewelry, sunglasses at home.

YES! Adults and children with developmental challenges or physical disabilities or who are interesting in trying some form of SUP are encouraged!

Unfortunately, this sport is still in its infancy and as a woman and/or a beginner, the worst thing to do is buy an old used board. There are many well-designed, lighter and easier-to-carry boards on the market today. We recommend you spend a season stand up paddling with Paddle Diva (or rent one of our SUP boards if you want to paddle on your own) to find out what you like and don’t like about the gear. Then you can make a smart, sound decision when it comes time to buy your own SUP board.

Yes, Paddle Diva sells a wide variety of stand up paddle boards, including Riviera, SUP Love and Boga boards.
