Intro to Paddleboarding

Have you ever wanted to paddleboard but aren't sure how? At this event (and a second one on 9/12) I will teach you.
This event itself is free but you will need to bring your own board. I recommend checking Wildhorse Paddleboards and No Snow Sup for rentals (both are super friendly and used to renting to beginners and are more than happy to answer any questions. Both offer life vests.) You'll get an already inflated board that can be strapped to the roof of your car or will fit in a pickup truck. if you aren't comfortable driving with the board you can have it deflated and I'll teach you how to inflate it at the rec site.
Butcher Jones Rec Area is a large parking lot and beach on Saguaro Lake. In order to park there you'll need a parking pass. They are available at the parking lot OR you can buy one ahead of time at a lot of gas stations and supermarkets in the East valley, just Google "Tonto Parking Pass" and you'll get a bunch of locations.
The beach is zero entry so we can start the lesson in 3 inches of water and if anyone is nervous they never need to go deeper than that and you also literally never need to stand, sitting is perfect. For everyone who is comfortable we can go a bit deeper and practice paddling, kneeling, standing, headstands, whatever you want.
