Thursday Morning Community Paddle for SUP Paddlers

WHEN: 7:30am-8:30am every Thursday, June through August. This year we plan to launch at 7:30am sharp! Please arrive early enough to be floating by then.

WHERE: Portland Paddle's site at the East End Beach (look for our sign)

WHO: Anyone who is confident and comfortable paddling a SUP on Casco Bay with a group; prior SUP experience required

COST: Free with your own SUP, or if you are a Portland Paddle member. $30 to rent one from Portland Paddle; reservations for rentals are required and can be made by clicking here.

This weekly gathering is a casual paddle open to anyone with prior SUP experience who feels comfortable and confident paddling on the ocean. This isn't a guided trip, so everyone is responsible for their own safety, but our staff are happy to share their knowledge of the sport. This is NOT meant as a SUP lesson, however, so if you expect to need support and instruction in order to paddle with the group you should first take one of Portland Paddle's lessons. The group will stay on the water for about an hour and will pick a destination that fits the conditions and participants.

If you are renting a SUP from us, please make a reservation and arrive at least 10-15 minutes prior to departure.
