THE WELCOME

Safety‑first start to calm nerves

Each session opens with a warm meet‑and‑greet and a detailed safety briefing to set intentions and address concerns, easing beginners into the sport before equipment is issued.

THE BASICS

Personalized gear fitting and paddle technique

Guests are fitted with paddleboards and learn paddle sizing, proper grip and board anatomy on land so they can move confidently into practical drills on the water.

THE PROGRESSION

Hands‑on practice, standing drills and a scenic paddle

The class progresses from kneeling and mounting drills to standing, walking and playful balance exercises, then finishes with turns, board control practice and a guided paddle across the lake—moments captured by on‑site photography.

What the class feels like

Juliet and the Bluet SUP team move students step‑by‑step from calm, clear instruction to active practice: a brief land session to learn paddle technique and board basics, followed by on‑water drills that include kneeling, mounting, getting fully submerged during practice, progressing to standing, balance games and turns, and ending with a guided lake crossing that consolidates new skills.
