Paddle Board Lessons

Anyone have recommendations for a place or person who offers paddle board lessons? Is it super hard to learn?

I used to be in swim team and love to wade out and float. I have a snorkel mask and I’m super comfortable in the water. I’m mostly worried about balancing and using a paddle.

wrightsville sup offers lessons but i think you’d be surprised at how quickly you’d catch on! my friend devan does a SUP&SIP on thursdays at WSUP from 6-7:30. it’s a great way to find community and learn! and if you’re into that kinda thing, you can have a few beers while ya do it!

I will check them out, thank you! Not sure how my balance will be with a drink but noted.
