  • What to Wear & What to Bring :

    • My Paddle Board classes are for seasoned outdoor Alaskans. I chose lakes for my lessons because they are the warmest bodies of water in the state. I only operate on warm days & have picked the 4 warmest months to offer my Paddle Board Lessons.

    • If you feel you need a wet or dry suit you will need to bring your own or rent one as these are not provided.

    • A cheap pair of water shoes, (no flip flops or bare feet). Alaska lakes have funky organic bottoms trust me you dont want to step in this without water shoes - an old pair of flat bottom sneakers will work.

    • A pair of shorts or pants you can get wet.

    • A shirt or long sleeve you can get wet.

    • A change of dry clothes & a towel for the end of your Paddle.

    • Sunscreen / hat for shade

    • Most important of all ...A SMILE


"Beginner Promise" - From your instructor Karl

"You may think you don’t have the athletic ability to try stand up paddle boarding. If this is you I have great news - all you need is the flexibility to go from your knees to hands & knees, (all fours), and stand up. Thanks to my friend Peter Hall of HALA GEAR based out of Colorado I have Boards that are extremely stable. Even the most lan-locked scaredy cats, will have fun."
