Standup Paddleboarding is the fastest growing paddlesport. It's deceptively simple though and there are strokes, skills, maneuvers, and safety procedures that might not be as easy to learn on your own. Do you know when to wear a leash and what kind? Can you paddle on one side or do you need to switch sides every couple strokes>
For paddling sessions, please wear clothing and shoes appropriate for the water temperatures. Avoid cotton clothing – no blue jeans or hooded sweatshirts. Expect to get wet and to continue paddling. Bring a complete change of clothes for afterwards. Apply sunscreen, and you may need a hat, glasses' strap, rain gear, and insect protection. Bring water and an energy bar. Additionally, you'll want a boat, paddle, life jacket and for some sessions a wetsuit and sprayjacket, drysuit, helmet, or dog. Provide your own gear or contact jeff@pilgrimpaddles.com.
