Surfs Up - Paddle Surfing NORTH of Juno Pier (see location info)

IMPORTANT NOTE: WE WILL BE A LITTLE FURTHER NORTH OF JUNO PIER FOR THIS PADDLE. SEE LOCATION AND DIRECTIONS. IF THE WEATHER DOESN'T COOPERATE ON THE OCEANSIDE; A PLAN B WILL BE DETERMINED ON THE INTRACOASTAL SIDE. .

Ready to refine your paddling skills? I love paddling AND paddlesurfing on the ocean. For beginners in particular; June, July & August are the calmest months to paddle on the ocean here in South Florida. It most likely will be flat. If there are actual waves; let's try a little paddlesurfing! The whole idea of this event is make you feel more comfortable paddling on the ocean and work on some advanced paddling skills. We will also have an interactive session to move one or more rescue skills that may help a fellow paddler in trouble in the future. We will practice the basic skills needed to learn how to paddlesurf even if we don't have surfable waves.

This is the best time of day to paddle or surf on the ocean. The wind is most calm at this time of day. You are more likely to see dolphins early in the day as well :) This will be a great opportunity to get used to paddling on the ocean if you are not comfortable paddling on the ocean yet. The other big reason for this time slot is the fact that it's Memorial Day and we want to avoid the crowds that will come later in the day.

We're going to be a little north of Juno Pier and Ocean Caye Park at the Beach Parking lot at 3610 Ocean Blvd. Parking should be better. There is a bathroom at the back of the parking lot that almost no one uses. We will go out directly in front of that parking lot. Less people on the beach and in the water in this water.

It will be $30 to rent a board for the lesson, equipment and life vest. $10 if you have your own board. Payment via Venmo or Zelle. This meetup is NOT for beginner paddlers. NO EXCEPTIONS. If you haven't paddled before please check our Fabulous First Timer events to learn how to paddle safely and with good form.
See you on the ocean. :)
