Route Schematic

Itinerary & on‑water route

The lesson follows a structured sequence of arrival, equipment setup, land drills and staged on‑water practice leading to a final guided paddle across the lake.

  1. Arrival & Welcome

    Meet and greet with the instructor to discuss the lesson’s goals, address concerns and review detailed safety for paddling in all conditions.

  2. Equipment Fitting & Land Technique

    Guests are fitted with paddleboard gear and practice paddle sizing and holding technique on the grass before learning board features, where to stand and basic balance on land.

  3. On‑Water Practice: Kneeling & Mounting

    Participants paddle to a protected area of the lake, practice getting on and off the board, and may be fully submerged during this stage as they learn stability and remounting.

  4. Standing, Balance Drills & Turns

    Students transition to standing, practice paddling, walking and balance drills (including playful moves), then work on turns and board control.

  5. Guided Paddle & Photography

    The class concludes with a guided paddle across the lake to apply skills while instructors photograph progress and joyful moments on the water.

Participants must be able to swim without a life vest and should notify the instructor if they weigh over 275 pounds; weather (especially wind) may force rescheduling or conversion to a private lesson.
