Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I’m ready for SUP Advanced?
You should have completed SUP Intermediate or have equivalent experience and feel confident paddling in a variety of conditions. This course is designed for experienced paddlers looking to push their skills further in more dynamic water.
If you’re unsure whether this course is the right fit, feel free to contact us—we’re happy to help assess your readiness.
What Should I bring?
Dress in layers and wear clothing that can get a little wet—quick-dry or moisture-wicking fabrics work best. Bring water, sunscreen, and a towel or change of clothes for after. Water shoes are recommended for comfort and traction, especially when launching or landing.
We’ll have dry bags available for small personal items, and we’re happy to hold onto your keys during the session to keep them safe and dry.
Can I bring my own Gear?
Yes, absolutely! You are more than welcome to bring your own gear to the course. In fact, we recommend it as it is good to practice on the gear you will be using. If you are bringing your own board, please make sure to bring your paddle, life jacket, leash, and a whistle.
However, if you don’t have your own equipment yet, no problem—we offer quality rentals (board, paddle, PFD, and leash) that can be added during booking.
What time should I arrive?
Please arrive 10–15 minutes early so we can get you checked in, go over safety and gear, and make the most of your time on the water. Lessons begin promptly at the scheduled time—late arrivals may miss key instruction or may not be able to participate if the group has already launched.
If you’re bringing your own equipment and need to inflate your board, we recommend arriving at least 30–35 minutes early to ensure you’re fully set up and ready to launch on time.
What if the weather is bad?
Safety is always our top priority. If conditions are unsafe due to wind, storms, or other factors, we’ll contact you to reschedule or provide a full refund. You can review our full Cancellation Policy for more details.
