Elite SUP Training Programs Lead by Misty

Most don’t think of paddle boarding as a hard sport, its fun and awesome full - body workout in the water and sun.

Few people get any guidance or proper instruction from a knowledgable guide. Even though its a super fun sport, it can turn dangerous quickly. Lots of people can do it but that doesn’t mean they know how to do it safely & effectively.
