Urban Kai, St. Petersburg, FL

Urban Kai’s SUP 101 class is an introductory group lesson to stand up paddle boarding. It includes a 10 minute land lesson to go over basic skills, an overview of the paddleboard, paddle, & PFD (personal flotation device). After that, the group heads to the water to put these skills into action! Our Gandy location provides ideal conditions to learn how to paddle board. This class can be repeated, followed by our SUP 102 class, or even a private lesson. Our goal is to get you comfortable and confident out on the water!
