Introduction to Paddleboarding

If you’re ready to try paddleboarding, you’ll find that Bellingham Bay is a fantastic place to start. Paddle along Boulevard Park for a leisurely afternoon, or pack some water and paddle down to Chuckanut Island for a memorable workout. Our classes start from the beginning and cover appropriate clothing, balance techniques (kneeling, standing), paddle strokes (forward, backward, sculling, bracing), and self rescues. This class is a combination of a one hour lesson followed by an hour rental; if you are enjoying your time out on the water stay longer and pay for additional rental time when you get back. We use a variety of paddleboards so it’s also a good opportunity to try a few different designs if you are consider buying your own.
